What skills and experience we're looking for

Your core responsibilities will be to ensure children develop strong numeracy and Maths skills, in line with their abilities and potential. You will support and develop the wider staff team, Alternative Providers and Tutors, so that numeracy is enthusiastically embedded across the curriculum. As a Teacher at The Bridge School you will be committed to making a tangible difference to the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable children, supporting them to overcome the barriers they face within education, and providing them with outcomes they can use beyond their placement with us.

The delivery of quality remote teaching and online learning will be a core skill you will be able to present in increasing measures. Some of our students engage best through an online offer, and many are in need of improving their IT confidence and application. Additionally, the willingness, should it be required, to teach one other subject would be beneficial.

As a successful applicant you will have skills to engage and develop students, who may have struggled with numeracy, and whom have low confidence and engagement with learning. You will have the ability to identify specific strengths or barriers to learning, implementing innovative and creative strategies to remove these barriers, and invigorate participation. For students who have the competency to achieve accreditation up to GCSE level, high teacher expectations and subject knowledge are required in order for potential to be reached. For many other students, the ability to development and embed Foundation Level/Functional Skills will be fundamental to the role. The majority of our students have significant gaps in education, with limited time to catch up. It is therefore imperative you have the ability to connect with students quickly and find a way to motivate, engage them, and create progress.

You will have the skills and personality to develop strong, professional and sustainable relationships with students, being positive, calm, resilient, consistent and reliable. Your individual and group management and communication skills will be outstanding. This specific post has KS4 Tutor Group responsibilities, delivering PSHE/Citizenship and the daily development of student’s social, emotional and mental health needs. You will work closely Teaching Assistants and Key Workers in order to support individual students.

What the school offers its staff

The Bridge School is a Pupil Referral Unit for KS3 & KS4 students. The School requires an outstanding and committed Teacher who can deliver Maths to students who are either having difficulty accessing high school education, or who are permanently excluded. You will be teaching primarily to KS4 students, but with a smaller element of KS3 teaching. Our students exhibit social, emotional and mental health issues which present through a range of behaviours. We therefore require a professional who is competent and skilled in managing and modifying behaviour, as well as being an enthusiastic and effective teaching practitioner
