Job Description

Location: West Bradford (Near Clitheroe), Lancashire (BB7 area) Salary: £28,000 - £32,000 per annum (MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance) Contract: Full-Time, Temp to Perm Start Date: 1st June 2026

The Opportunity: Shaping a New Start

Are you a Qualified Teacher (QTS/QTLS) looking for a role that offers more autonomy and impact? We are launching a brand-new Alternative Provision (AP) in West Bradford and are seeking a foundational teacher to join us from 1st June 2026.

This is a Temp to Perm position. You will join the founding team during our pre-opening setup phase, allowing you to influence the curriculum and environment before transitioning to a permanent school contract. You will be teaching small groups of students with complex SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs and SEND.

Key Responsibilities

  • Classroom Innovation: Design and deliver an engaging curriculum for students who have found mainstream education challenging.

  • SEMH Specialist: Implement trauma-informed strategies to support pupils with EHCPs and emotional regulation needs.

  • Founding Team Member: Assist the Lead Teacher in setting up the learning spaces and establishing a positive, inclusive school culture.

  • Progress Tracking: Monitor academic and social-emotional growth, providing a "fresh start" for every learner.

What We Are Looking For

  • Mandatory: Must hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS.

  • Experience: Previous work within an Alternative Provision (AP), PRU, or Special School is highly desirable.

  • Resilience: A calm, authoritative presence and a deep-seated belief in the potential of every child.

  • Ribble Valley Connection: Willingness to work in a rural, therapeutic setting in the BB7 area.

Why Join Our West Bradford AP?

  • The Path to Permanency: A guaranteed route to a permanent contract following a successful "founding" period.

  • Strategic Start: The June start date allows you to be fully inducted and "at home" in the school before the September term begins.

  • Small Class Sizes: Focus on quality 1:1 and small group instruction rather than 30+ pupil management.

  • Professional Growth: Be part of a brand-new project with significant opportunities for leadership as the provision expands.
