As part of the Delta Education Trust, Delta Bespoke manages and runs a series of Outdoor Education Centres for young people. Our vision, Happiness in the Pursuit of Learning, embodies our passion for creating learning and educational opportunities for students who find being in the classroom difficult.
Are you an enthusiastic individual who can bring this vision to life and make a real difference to the lives and future prospects of our young people? If so, then this role is for you.
The role:
Your role within Delta Bespoke’s Adventure Learning team will be to teach at The Wymering School, based in Cosham, Portsmouth. The school teaches students with a variety of social communication and interaction difficulties, associated Speech, Language & Communication Difficulties (neurodiverse profile), and high levels of anxiety and/or associated distressed behaviour. We endeavour to help our learners to feel they matter and belong, enabling them to improve their social, emotional, and academic skills to be the best that they can be.
Our Adventure Learning centre provides an outdoor education curriculum for 9-16-year-olds. Based in Portsmouth, the centre’s location provides us with a wide range of excellent nearby locations for bushcraft, stand-up paddleboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, and more.
The role will involve planning and developing ‘out-of-the-classroom’ learning opportunities, using a wide range of outdoor activities for all students, and will be responsible for the ongoing progress of their students.
About you:
* We are looking for someone who holds multiple relevant NGB’s (Paddle UK Level 2, RCI, ML, British Cycling MTB Leader, etc.).
* Teaching/youth work qualifications and experience working with students of this nature would be desirable.
* A highly motivated and flexible individual who can form positive relationships with students with a wide range of special needs in order to make a positive difference.
* Someone with a particular interest in teaching students with special educational needs, including those with behavioural, emotional, and social issues.
About Delta:
At Delta, we really care about our pupils and their attitude towards learning. We pride ourselves on creating exciting learning environments and innovative curriculums suitable for all ages and abilities. With Delta Bespoke, pupils learn together to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent, and emotionally regulated. Creating students who are happy with themselves, brave enough to cope, and confident enough to make positive decisions, wherever life takes them.
Delta Bespoke takes great care to recruit the very best people so that the services we provide are outstanding. We believe that the best work gets done in an environment that’s enjoyable and which values, supports, and encourages the development of its employees. With that in mind, we support our staff in achieving all relevant outdoor qualifications needed.
We also offer:
* A supportive leadership team that values your ideas and ambitions.
* Opportunities for professional growth and career progression.
* Generous sick pay and pension scheme.
* The chance to make a genuine impact on children’s lives every single day.
