About the Role
Bouncing Statistics is looking for passionate, resilient and dedicated teachers to join our growing Alternative Provision at Eden House, Walsall.
We are recruiting teachers across our core curriculum areas:
Applications are welcomed from experienced teachers and Early Career Teachers (ECTs) with QTS.
If you are qualified and experienced in more than one of these subject areas, you are welcome to apply for multiple subjects.
This is an opportunity to teach in a small, relationship-led Alternative Provision setting supporting young people who may have experienced barriers to mainstream education, including SEND, SEMH, attendance difficulties, exclusion, disengagement and challenging educational experiences.
With a maximum 1:7 teacher-to-pupil ratio, teachers have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, understand individual barriers to learning and deliver genuinely personalised education.
We are looking for teacher(s) who can maintain high expectations while recognising that some young people require greater flexibility, patience and support to successfully engage with learning.

This is an ongoing, flexible teaching opportunity designed for teachers who want to work within Alternative Provision without necessarily committing to a traditional full-time teaching contract.

The role may suit teachers who are:
- Looking for flexible teaching hours.
- Seeking experience within Alternative Provision.
- Experienced in SEND or SEMH education.
- Returning to teaching.
- Working across multiple educational settings.
- An ECT looking to develop their teaching experience.
- Looking for a smaller, more relationship-focused teaching environment.
There is potential for regular and increased teaching hours for teachers who are a strong fit for the provision.
