Do you believe in the transformative power of education?

We offer the time and support that ensures, together, we can shape futures. 

Join our mission to inspire and empower learners, making a lasting impact.

At Pivot we believe children deserve better. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 2 – 5 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with some traumatic backgrounds.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced and reflective practitioner to join our Pivot 6 team. Our Pivot 6 provision offers specialist support for KS4 children who have been permanently excluded from mainstream school. Our aim is to prepare learners academically and socially so they may transition back into mainstream school and be successful. Our provision, and therefore the role, is currently based over two sites, in Bradley, Huddersfield and Wibsey, Bradford; travel between the two sites is approx. 15 minutes.

What can we offer you? 

  • Inclusive Environment: We cater for learners with diverse SEMH learning needs, providing a positive, supportive and nurturing atmosphere where you can thrive as a teacher, purposefully delivering exciting lessons that meet specialist needs.
  • Small Class Sizes: Enjoy the benefits of teaching smaller groups, allowing for personalised attention and meaningful connections. This means more time to plan, deliver and assess, making the difference in the classroom, where it really matters.
  • Holistic Approach: We focus on developing not only academic skills but also life and personal skills, fostering well-rounded individuals, transforming the futures of our learners.
  • Collaborative Team: Join a small, passionate team of educators committed to making a difference in learners’ lives. Receive full support from a dedicated team of senior leaders and colleagues, with a focus on your professional development and career progression.
  • Ethical Commitment: Join a community that values empathy, kindness, and integrity.

 What are we looking for? 

  • Passion: A love for teaching and a desire to ignite curiosity in our learners.
  • Adaptability: Flexibility to tailor teaching methods to individual learners’ needs.
  • Empathy: Understanding and supporting learners using trauma informed practice.
  • Creativity: Innovative approaches to make subjects engaging and relatable.
  • Commitment: Helping learners to achieve their potential, with high expectations of themselves and others.

Working at Pivot will give you a real chance to change the lives of our learners and we truly believe you will find working here a rewarding experience.

We do encourage you to submit your application form as soon as possible as we reserve the right to change the closing date for a vacancy.

We are committed to safeguarding our young people and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure Barring Service check and appropriate referencing.

 During the shortlisting process, Pivot will carry out an online search on shortlisted candidates as part of its due diligence.
