The Alternative Provision Unit within The North School is seeking a dedicated Lead Practitioner to oversee the unit and deliver subject support. This role is uniquely suited to highly experienced non-teaching professionals with a strong background in tutoring and student intervention. The unit caters to secondary-aged students (11–16), most of whom navigate social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties. We are looking for an individual who can bridge the gap between pastoral care and academic achievement.
Job Responsibility
Plan and deliver/tutor core specialist subjects up to GCSE level using creative, exciting methods
Maintain a functional understanding of the wider curriculum to support or tutor students across various subjects as required
Effectively communicate and liaise with staff to develop progress plans and manage behavior to prevent exclusion
Promote social development by providing students with diverse resources and innovative learning methods
Support colleagues in creating implementation targets that track the social, emotional, and academic progress of every student
Liaise closely with parents, carers, and external stakeholders to ensure the best outcomes for the unit's students
Requirements
Qualifications: While QTS is welcomed, we strongly encourage applications from non-teaching professionals with relevant degree-level qualifications or significant experience in tutoring and student support
Experience: A minimum of two years' experience within an SEN, PRU, or Alternative Provision setting is highly desirable
Skills: You must be comfortable working in a challenging but rewarding environment. Exceptional behaviour management, patience, and the ability to plan engaging, interactive sessions are essential
Attributes: We value flexibility, high professional standards, and the energy to inspire students who may have struggled in mainstream settings
