DPA plays a crucial role in Derby City’s strategy for SEMH/SEND, including working in partnership with local mainstream schools to reduce permanent exclusions. It is commissioned for 52 places for secondary students aged 11-16. DPA was initially a standalone Free School Academy before recently opting to join Esteem MAT.
We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring teacher to join our academy to teach PSHE to students in KS3 and KS4. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit a teacher who is willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the students within the Academy
This role will be responsible for establishing a supportive relationship with the students and their parents/carers, monitor behaviour and achievement. The successful candidate will also be used to cover classes in the absence of teachers and support the pastoral support team with intervention and mentoring.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected students in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for students with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our students and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.
Benefits include: Teacher’s Pension Scheme, Westfield Health membership, academy laptop and free parking.

Derby Pride Academy works to engage and sustain learning for vulnerable and challenging young people. We work with our students to improve their attainment, behaviour, attendance, self-esteem, and confidence whilst providing skills to support development as responsible members of the community; we raise expectations and contribute to the well-being and cohesion of the community we serve.
We believe that provision based on teaching young people how to achieve in core subjects, in managing personal behaviours and in developing employability skills is vital to success.
We deliver Alternative Provision which recognises that students are all individuals with different strengths and weaknesses, acknowledging that mainstream education is not for everyone.
We provide our students with a chance to engage in education whilst they prepare to regain a mainstream school, or specialist SEN place; students may find alternative placements supported by the academy or develop a range of skills to prepare them for employment, apprenticeship or other study routes beyond 16.
