As a Bespoke Teacher, you'll have the opportunity to make a truly life-changing difference to students who find mainstream education challenging. Through highly personalised, trauma-informed teaching, you'll design engaging learning experiences that build confidence, develop emotional resilience, and unlock every student's potential.

Working creatively and flexibly, you'll tailor your approach to meet each young person’s individual needs, creating a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive. By building strong, trusting relationships, you'll help students overcome barriers to learning, celebrate their achievements, and make meaningful academic and personal progress. Where appropriate, you'll also support successful reintegration into wider school life, ensuring every student experiences a sense of belonging, success, and hope for the future.

* This role will be based at the school but will primarily involve teaching off site, supporting children and young people who are currently unable to access the classroom environment. You’ll provide personalised, engaging learning in settings where students feel safe and supported, helping them re-engage with education and, where appropriate, work towards a successful return to school.*

• Deliver bespoke education plans that reflect learners’ needs, strengths and aspirations.
• Plan and teach engaging lessons across appropriate curriculum areas, adapting confidently where needs change.
• Support inclusion and wellbeing—helping learners build confidence, routines and a sense of belonging.
• Monitor progress and update learning targets, ensuring each learner moves forward with clarity and consistency.
• Work closely with colleagues to integrate education with day-to-day care and support.
• Use positive behaviour approaches to promote calm, safe learning environments.
• Contribute to reviews and documentation, working thoughtfully with families and professionals where appropriate.
• Maintain high expectations while being flexible and responsive to learners’ individual circumstances.

• A genuine commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.
• Strong classroom presence, with the ability to build rapport and manage learning in a calm, supportive way.
• Patience, empathy and resilience, especially when progress is not linear.
• Flexibility—because every learner is different, and approaches may need to shift quickly.
• The ability to plan creatively and teach with purpose, not just routine.
• Effective communication skills, working collaboratively across teams.
• Full UK driving licence
