What skills and experience we're looking for
Tees Valley Collaborative Trust, based in the North East of England, is a well established organisation with social inclusion, educational excellence and widening participation at the heart of its values.
At the Prior Pursglove College site, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher who has a passion for teaching English from foundation level through to GCSE level. The age range of students will span from 14 -18 (24 for young people with an EHCP) and adult students in community classes, and there may be some outreach work involved.
You must have demonstrable high levels of skills in teaching and learning to enable you to deliver a variety of programmes to disengaged and disadvantaged young people and adults. In addition, you will have a proven track record of securing excellent student outcomes and be experienced in assessing, recording and tracking students.
You must be used to working with and have empathy for young people with additional needs who form part of this inclusive provision.
