Pshe Teacher - Pivot Academy

Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of Pivot Academy.

At Pivot we believe children deserve better. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 1 – 5 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some of the most complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with some really traumatic backgrounds.

The Pivot Academy Kirklees (upper provision) provides support for young people in Key Stage 4, who have a wide range of complex needs, many of whom come to us with an EHCP. We work with students and their parents/carers to provide bespoke support based on the individual needs of each child, giving them opportunities to gain a variety of qualifications and to follow different routes through to employment. Our students study to GCSE, and they can also learn functional and vocational skills in Music, Health and Fitness, Business and Photography.

We have an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and resilient practitioner to join our team. As a teacher, you will promote and engage with students in your subject area delivering quality education to learners with SEND.

Our class sizes are very small with high adult to pupil ratios and we are looking for a reflective practitioner with a strong passion for helping every learner in their care reach their full potential. We are seeking a candidate who has experience of delivering the NCFE RSE qualification. Ideally, you will be able to teach a second subject, however, this isn’t essential.

Working at Pivot will give you a real chance to change our student’s lives and we truly believe you will find working here a rewarding experience.
