  Part-time / flexible Start: ASAP What would teaching look like if you had the time to properly understand one young person at a time?

At SEND Inclusion Support, our Specialist Outreach Teachers work with children and young people who are finding mainstream education difficult to access.

Rather than working to a full classroom timetable, you'll have the opportunity to adapt education around the individual and focus on what will genuinely help them move forward.

We're looking for an experienced teacher to support a young person in Leigh.

This could be an ideal role for a teacher who enjoys the creativity of teaching but would like more autonomy, more meaningful relationships and fewer of the pressures that come with a traditional classroom.

Every pupil is different, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all timetable.

You'll be responsible for:

• Getting to know the young person and understanding how they learn best Getting to know the young person and understanding how they learn best
• Using their interests and strengths to encourage engagement Using their interests and strengths to encourage engagement
• Adapting teaching to their individual needs and starting point Adapting teaching to their individual needs and starting point
• Supporting academic progress alongside confidence, communication and independence Supporting academic progress alongside confidence, communication and independence
• Creating positive routines and helping overcome barriers to learning Creating positive routines and helping overcome barriers to learning
• Working with families and other professionals where appropriate Working with families and other professionals where appropriate
• Keeping clear records and reporting on progress Keeping clear records and reporting on progress
• Helping the young person work towards their next appropriate education pathway Helping the young person work towards their next appropriate education pathway Sessions may take place in the home, community or another suitable environment, depending on the individual provision.

Working outside a school environment doesn't mean working without structure.

Our teachers have access to our bespoke Nurture Curriculum, a semi-formal curriculum developed specifically for young people who may be unable to access mainstream education.

It provides a framework to work from while giving you the flexibility to adapt learning to the individual.

Where appropriate, it can feed into the National Curriculum and formal education pathways.

And you'll have a team around you.

Our Nurture Teachers and wider specialists share ideas, resources and experience, with termly Nurture Teacher Days providing dedicated opportunities to come together, reflect on practice and support one another.

We're particularly interested in teachers who enjoy working creatively and independently and who can see beyond a young person's barriers to recognise their potential.
