Do you want to teach less hours? Are you currently working in education and looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people? Are you missing the chance to teach smaller group sizes so that your delivery can have a greater impact? Would you like to take part in off-site enrichment activities? Do you want a rewarding career with opportunities for progression where you will experience genuine job satisfaction?

The rest of your time will be spent assisting in other subject lessons, supporting our learners on enrichment activities, contributing to SEN/D paperwork or barrier busting. You will be delivering to class sizes of between 5-10 learners, but learners will also have support from other staff members during these sessions. You will collect students on your commute to work and take them home at the end of the day.

What it’s like to work for us

The Really NEET Project is a Post 16 SEN/D provision that works with 16-24 year old’s who have struggled to cope in mainstream education. Our approach is very much person-centred and based around meeting the needs of the learners. Students are taught either one-to-one or in small groups (never more than 10 students, though typically around 5), so being able to build great relationships is at the heart of what we do.

We have been operating for over 10 years and are nationally renowned for the work that we do in not only re-engaging young people back into education but for the holistic support that we offer to help our learners to remove barriers to learning, life and work.

We currently have projects in Rotherham, Barnsley, London and The Midlands.

If you want to work somewhere that values both its staff and its students, then Really NEET would welcome your application.

Please note, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expect all those who work with us to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undertake a DBS Enhanced Clearance check (Disclosure and Barring Service).
