Make a Difference Where It Matters Most
Do you believe every young person deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of the barriers they have faced? At The Complete Works (TCW), we believe education has the power to transform lives. We are looking for compassionate, resilient and creative teachers to join our growing team and provide meaningful education to young people who need it most.
This is not a traditional classroom role. As a TCW teacher, you’ll work with children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education due to a range of complex needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, trauma, and permanent exclusion.
Many of the students we support have experienced significant adversity, including challenging childhood experiences and traumatic events. They need consistent, understanding adults who can build trusting relationships, have high levels of emotional resilience, and help them rediscover their confidence and love of learning.
About the Role
You’ll deliver engaging, personalised education to students through one-to-one sessions and small group teaching across homes, learning centres and community venues throughout London.
- Every day is different. You’ll have the opportunity to be creative, adapt your approach and celebrate progress in all its forms because every step forward, no matter how small, can have a lasting impact.
- You’ll teach a broad curriculum, including English, Maths and Science (to Foundation GCSE level), while supporting students’ academic progress, emotional wellbeing and personal development.
