Pink Tile Education are working in partnership with a specialist Provision in the Lancing area, who are seeking a passionate and resilient English Teacher to join their team from September.
This provision supports pupils aged 5–16 who are unable to access mainstream education due to exclusion, medical needs, mental health challenges, behavioural needs, or barriers to learning. While the provision supports a broad age range, there is a strong focus on Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students.
The school provides a nurturing and highly supportive environment where staff focus on rebuilding confidence, emotional regulation, and engagement with education. Many pupils may have experienced disruption within their learning journey and require patience, consistency, and positive relationship building to help them succeed.
The successful candidate will be teaching English across secondary age groups, delivering engaging and differentiated lessons tailored to meet a range of learning abilities and additional needs. The school are looking for someone who can build strong relationships with students, remain calm under pressure, and create a safe and positive learning environment.
This role would suit someone who understands that behaviour is often a form of communication and who can approach challenges with empathy, resilience, and a trauma-informed mindset.
