Make a Difference Where It Matters Most
Are you a teacher who believes every young person deserves to feel seen, valued and capable of success? Do you thrive in environments where relationships matter just as much as curriculum? If so, this Alternative Provision setting in Nottingham City would love to hear from you.
About the Role
We are seeking a passionate, resilient and creative Teacher to join a City Hub team. You’ll work with pupils who have often felt let down by mainstream education — young people who need someone who can teach and truly connect.
You’ll deliver high?quality teaching across a broad curriculum. Knowledge of Maths at KS3/KS4 and Functional Skills is particularly beneficial, though additional subject strengths or personal interests are also welcomed to help enrich our flexible, engaging curriculum.
What Teaching Looks Like Here
- Small groups of 3–6 learners, allowing for meaningful relationships and personalised learning
- Some 1:1 teaching, especially during transition periods
- TA support for targeted interventions and group sessions
- Adaptive, relational teaching that prioritises engagement, wellbeing and progress
- A holistic curriculum blending academic, personal and life?skills learning
- Manageable planning and marking, with space for creativity and innovation
Key Responsibilities
- Set ambitious, personalised targets using robust baseline assessments
- Deliver engaging lessons that support academic, personal and wellbeing outcomes
- Use relational and restorative approaches to behaviour and engagement
- Create safe, inclusive and purposeful learning environments
- Work closely with specialist staff, families and external agencies
- Contribute to curriculum planning, resource development and whole?team approaches
- Model excellent safeguarding practice at all times
What We’re Looking For
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PGCE or equivalent
- Ability to teach a specialist subject and contribute to wider curriculum areas
- A reflective practitioner committed to ongoing professional development
- A driver (due to the nature of the role)
- Experience in special or alternative provision is desirable but not essential
- Confidence using relational and restorative behaviour strategies
Why This Role Could Be Perfect for You
- You want to make a genuine difference for pupils who need a fresh start
- You value relationships over rigid routines
- You enjoy creative, flexible teaching that adapts to individual needs
- You’re energised by small classes, big impact and a supportive team
- You want to work somewhere where your ideas matter and your wellbeing is valued
