Trainee Teacher, SEN / High Needs

Are you a dog or a dolphin? Wait, I'll explain... We're looking for people who want to swim alongside our students, challenging them and enabling them to become confident, independent and employable. We're not looking for people who want to bark instructions and complete tasks on their behalf.

You don't need a teaching qualification for this role, but you do need enthusiasm, resilience and a passion for supporting young people with high needs on their journey to independence and employment. We'll give you mentoring, on-the-job training, a reduced timetable and training to become a trained teacher with a much higher earning potential.

This trainee role would suit a graduate with a passion for SEN or people experienced in supporting teenagers with mental health, learning or behavioural difficulties. If you're an outstanding graduate, youth worker, probation officer, or teaching assistant for example, we'd love to hear from you.

We'll give you plenty of support from a dedicated mentor and an Advanced Teaching Practitioner. In your first year you'll be on our Development Track, leading to a Level 3 Teaching Award. In year two, we'll support you to gain your Cert Ed.

What you'll be doing... delivering small group sessions to post 16 students with high needs engaging students who may have struggled with confidence in the past supporting students to develop independence, communication and employability skills creating a positive, inclusive and inspiring classroom environment
