About the Role

We are recruiting a Health and Social Care Teacher for a well-regarded Alternative Provision school, working with students aged 11–16 who have been excluded from mainstream education.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent teaching qualification
• Experience teaching Health and Social Care (KS3/KS4)
• Level 3 qualification (or above) in Health and Social Care desirable
• Experience working with, or a strong interest in, students with SEMH needs or those who have experienced exclusion from mainstream school
• A calm, patient, and relationship-focused approach to behaviour management
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one)

What's on Offer

• Competitive daily rate: £180–£250 per day
• Part-time hours ideal for work-life balance (3 days per week)
• Small class sizes (maximum of 8 students)
• Supportive, hands-on leadership team
• Genuine opportunity to progress from supply to a permanent contract
• Immediate start available for the right candidate (7th September)
