14-16 Foundation Teacher

Nescot’s 14-16 alternative provision unit serves students who struggle with social, emotional, and some behavioural challenges that prevent them from engaging in the mainstream school environment. We provide a supportive setting for students with mild to moderate special education needs or mental health concerns that have caused them to become alienated from the standard academic route. With class sizes capped at 8 students and a robust staff to student ratio of 1:3, we are equipped to give these young people increased attention and nurturing tailored to their unique needs. Our focus is on creating an environment where disengaged students can rebuild confidence, reconnect with learning, and flourish holistically. While aimed at supporting students who have grown disconnected from school, our provision is not intended for young people with severe conduct issues or behavioural disorders.

What we are looking for:

You will be attentive and responsive to each student’s unique needs.
Skilled in using differentiation, explicit instructions, multisensory approaches, positive behaviour support, collaborative learning and trauma informed and social emotional teaching practices to support learning.
Experienced in recording and monitoring each step of progress however big or small, demonstrating good administrative and organisational skills and the ability to work as part of a team. Read more
