Alternative Teacher

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable young people?

We are currently going through an exciting period of expansion, with plans to open a brand new Learning Hub in South London in September this year. As a result, we are growing our team of teachers and support staff. Next year we will be able to help more young people and offer a more complete educational experience than ever before. If you would like to be part of this journey, we would love to hear from you.

Who we are

We are an alternative school and education charity with a 20-year track record, built on an ethos of creative and individualised learning. The education we provide is tailor-made for each child, based on their needs and interests. Teachers have the freedom to adapt the curriculum, using creativity to bring lessons alive.

The role

We are looking for teachers to work on a one to one basis with young people throughout London, teaching in students’ homes and in our Learning Hubs. Our students are typically not suited to mainstream education due to SEN, medical needs, or SEMH. The work is varied, challenging, incredibly rewarding. You will be supported by our office education team, including a QTS teacher who will act as your mentor and well as safeguarding, wellbeing and interventions staff. The goal is to help your student(s) learn creatively, grow socially and achieve academically.

What we offer:

• Regular Goldsmith University accredited training
• Support from a team of experts
• Personal wellbeing support from a trained counsellor
• Access to hundreds of company discounts
• A choice of full time or part time work

You will need:

• Enhanced DBS Certificate, Overseas Police Clearances (if applicable)
• Experience working with young people, ideally with SEN or SEMH.
• The ability to teach up to KS3 or KS4 level, with support.

Pay: 

The first 5 weeks of working with TCW is an induction period for which the session rate will be: 

• Day Rate (6hrs) - £97.08 + 11.72 Holiday Pay.
• Half Day Rate (3hrs) - £48.54 + £5.86 Holiday Pay.

Once all training sessions have been attended, and the education department is satisfied with your teaching standards, then your rate would then be reviewed and be increased to: 

• Day Rate (6hrs) - £110.94 + £13.40 Holiday Pay.
• Half Day Rate (3hrs) - £55.47 + £6.70 Holiday Pay.

Training:

• One off induction day – 10.00am – 4.00pm
• Five Tuesday afternoon induction training sessions - 4.30 – 6.00pm
• Ongoing professional development on Thursday afternoons – 4.30 – 6.00pm
• Weekly training is paid (1.5 hr session). You will be teaching and training simultaneously.

We believe our students deserve a broad range of role models, reflecting the diversity of our society. Therefore we welcome applications from those of all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations and those with disabilities or neurodiverse conditions.
