Esland Bedford School is an independent SEMH special school for up to 50 children aged 8-18.
The school provides education to day pupils, and via our unique Turning the Curve provision, to young people who have been disengaged from education for significant periods of time.
We aim to maintain a nurturing and accepting environment for young people who have not had their needs met in other settings. Likewise, we also aim to provide a work/life balance to staff not available in larger schools.
Esland Bedford School is seeking a Nurture teacher to support in opening a third classroom in our recently opened, stand-alone KS2/3 Nurture provision.
About The Role
The role entails planning and delivery of a targeted curriculum for some of our most vulnerable pupils who are not yet ready to access our secondary curriculum.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role would be suitable for teachers with experience of delivering a topic based curriculum and of working with pupils with Anxiety, Emotionally based School Avoidance, ASD and/or ADHD.
Qualified Teacher Status is essential, however exceptions may be made for candidates who demonstrate significant experience and impact in a school or nursery setting and have the ability to access a school based qualification pathway in the future (the advertised pay rate will likely not apply if QTS is not held).
