Your Role

*Please note this is a full/part time role, and you will be paid all year round as per STPCD (School Teacher’s Pay and Conditions Document).

Callerton Academy is seeking to appoint a skilled, nurturing and reflective primary-trained teacher to lead a secondary nurture group for students who require a highly supportive, therapeutic and relational approach to learning.

This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to work with a small group of Key Stage 3 students, helping them to successfully re-engage with learning, build emotional literacy, develop routines, and develop the foundational knowledge they need to thrive as they transition into mainstream secondary education.

The successful candidate will:
  • Plan and deliver a primary-style curriculum tailored to the developmental, academic and emotional needs of secondary-aged students
  • Teach literacy and numeracy, including the use of phonics and structured numeracy techniques, to strengthen students’ foundational knowledge and confidence
  • Support students to close gaps in early reading, writing and mathematical understanding that act as barriers to wider learning
  • Create a safe, calm and consistent learning environment grounded in nurture principles
  • Work closely with pastoral leaders, SEND staff, families and external professionals to support individual student needs
  • Support students’ carefully planned reintegration into mainstream lessons
We are looking for someone who:
  • Holds QTS and is primary-trained
  • Has strong experience in delivering phonics-based literacy and practical, structured numeracy approaches
  • Understands the importance of rebuilding foundational knowledge for older students who have experienced disrupted learning
  • Has a sound understanding of attachment-aware and trauma-informed practice
  • Is passionate about inclusion and believes in building success through relationships
  • Is flexible, reflective and resilient, with high expectations and a warm, consistent approach
Experience of working with students with SEND, SEMH needs, or who are at risk of disengagement would be particularly advantageous.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
  • A competitive salary - as an accredited Living Wage Employer, you’re guaranteed a wage that meets, and often exceeds, the real cost of living.
  • Generous annual leave
  • Benefits including; excellent pension scheme, cycle to work scheme, free on-site parking
  • An opportunity to work with highly-skilled professionals
  • Enthusiastic and motivated students
  • An exciting and extensive commitment to professional development
  • A school with its community at heart
  • Wider career development opportunities to be involved across the Gosforth Group
