Full Time Key Stage 3 & 4 Teacher required for Easter 2026.
Compass Learning Centre is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Key Stage 3/4 Teacher who really wants to make a difference to young people’s lives, inspiring them to achieve and realise their true potential. This position could suit a qualified, or newly qualified, teacher with experience from upper primary, middle or secondary school who is able to teach across the curriculum to both Key Stages 3 and 4, ensuring learners achieve the appropriate qualifications (up to GCSE) while developing the learners’ employability, personal and social skills.
The young people we educate have struggled to maintain a place in mainstream school and come to us with a variety of additional needs. Our challenge is to help them build the confidence, knowledge and skills to unlock their potential. This role will suit a teacher who is caring, understanding and can demonstrate energy and enthusiasm with a strong positive and relational behaviour management ethos. Class sizes are small with Teaching Assistant support and all of our students need bespoke individualised learning.
We are seeking to appoint someone who:
- is committed to high standards of achievement and progress;
- has a flexible approach and able to meet the changing needs of our young people;
- is able to deliver a curriculum in engaging and creative ways;
- makes learning exciting, motivating and interesting;
- has excellent classroom management and pastoral skills;
- is able to contribute fully to the life of the school.
If you are a good team player, who is motivated, patient, resilient, understanding and have the ability to establish a rapport with young people in a busy and lively setting, this may be the job for you. You will be joining an outstanding, hardworking and friendly team of staff.
The Governing Body would welcome applications from both experienced and newly qualified teachers; the school values the diversity of our work force and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
