What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a flexible individual to join our Short-Term Provision Team. Working with primary and secondary aged young people, who are unable to attend school for medical reasons, you will play a key role in ensuring they do not fall behind and have gaps in their knowledge. The job involves actively supporting and facilitating work set by the home schools or delivering the Academy’s established curriculum. This will be a blend of face-to-face and online sessions, so excellent IT skills are essential. You will need to have at least a GCSE 4 – 9, (or equivalent), in English and maths. Due to the nature of the post, a current valid driving licence and car access are also essential
What the school offers its staff
‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams. This is the Vision Statement of James Brindley Academy.
Do you want to have a positive impact on some of the most vulnerable children’s lives in Birmingham?
Do you want to work in an organisation that recognises the benefits of a good work/life balance for their workforce?
Do you want to work in an organisation that invests heavily in CPD and allocates additional training days to develop their staff?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to all these questions, join our team!
This is an excellent time to join James Brindley as the Academy continues to implement a strategic vision developed by young people, staff, and other stakeholders.
Join us to ‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.
James Brindley is a stand-alone Academy based in a wide variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres. Many of our young people have complex medical needs and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us. We offer a full-time curriculum to young people from EYFS to KS5 and our aim is always to enable them to ‘close the gap’ and to exceed expected progress during the time they are with us. If you are a well-organised and resilient professional who has high expectations and a positive mindset this could be the job for you.
