Still Love Teaching, But Looking for a Different Way to Make a Difference?

Not every child can currently access learning in a classroom. And not every experienced educator wants their next role to look like traditional classroom teaching.

SEND Inclusion Support is looking for experienced Nurture Teachers to deliver personalised 1:1 education to children and young people across Stafford and the surrounding areas.

You'll support pupils who need a different approach to learning - one built around relationships, trust, flexibility and an understanding of their individual needs.

Teaching may take place in the young person's home, within the community or in another agreed learning environment.

This isn't about delivering a traditional school timetable in a different location.

It's about finding a way to make education accessible again.

Some pupils may be ready for structured learning.

Others may need time to develop relationships, rebuild confidence and establish a positive routine before they can engage with academic activities.

Your teaching needs to respond to the pupil in front of you.

You Bring the Teaching Expertise. We Give You the Framework.

You'll use SEND Inclusion Support's bespoke Nurture Curriculum, a semi-formal curriculum developed specifically for pupils who may not currently be able to access mainstream education.

It provides the structure and progression behind your teaching while giving you the flexibility to adapt sessions around each pupil's needs, interests and starting point.

You'll plan and deliver engaging, meaningful learning experiences, recognising that progress can look different for every young person.

You won't be left to plan everything from scratch.

A Different Kind of Teaching. A Different Kind of Progress.

Sometimes progress means completing a piece of work.

Sometimes it means a young person attending their session for the first time, engaging in an activity or beginning to believe that education might be possible for them again.

Both matter.

This is an opportunity to step away from whole-class teaching and focus on the individual young person, giving them the time, support and encouragement they need to move forward.

If you'd like to use your teaching experience to help children and young people re-engage with education, rebuild confidence and make meaningful progress, we'd love to hear from you.
