Summary
Nurture Teacher - St Helens A teaching role built around the young person, not the timetable.
Are you an experienced teacher who wants to spend more time understanding the individual pupil and less time managing the pressures of a traditional classroom?
SEND Inclusion Support is looking for a Nurture Teacher to support young people in St Helens who are currently unable to access mainstream education due to SEND, SEMH, EBSA, anxiety or other barriers to attendance.
This is a different kind of teaching role. You will work primarily on a 1:1 basis, building a positive relationship with the pupil and using their interests, strengths and individual needs to re-engage them with education.
Why this role is different
You won't be expected to start from scratch.
We have developed our own bespoke Nurture Curriculum - a semi-formal curriculum designed for pupils who may be unable to access mainstream education. It provides structure and progression while linking into the National Curriculum and formal education pathways where appropriate.
And although sessions may take place in the pupil's home or community, you are never left to work in isolation.
Our Nurture Teachers have ongoing support from our wider specialist team, access to curriculum guidance and resources, and regular communication with the team.
You will also attend our termly Nurture Teacher Days, bringing our teachers together to share ideas, resources and experiences, discuss what's working, reflect on practice and support one another.
