The role is to deliver effective lessons when teachers are unavailable to teach their normal lessons.

We are not seeking an expert in every subject, rather someone who can deliver a wide variety of lessons across the curriculum with confidence and empathy. It is a challenging but highly rewarding post that allows you to become an integral part of the team quickly and allows you to gain meaningful experience rapidly within a school. The successful candidates will have an uncompromising commitment to student achievement with a mind-set that all young people can experience success.
