• Manage classroom behaviour effectively, using strong behaviour management strategies to ensure pupils remain focused, safe and engaged throughout the school day.
• Adapt lessons and learning activities to meet the needs of all learners, including pupils with SEND, EAL and varying abilities, promoting inclusion and ensuring every student can access learning.
• Complete all expected teaching responsibilities, including planning where required, marking, assessment, safeguarding and effective communication with school staff to ensure continuity of learning.
• Build positive and professional relationships with pupils, colleagues and school leaders.
• Support the wider life of the school where appropriate, contributing to a positive school culture and the wider development of pupils.

Requirements or Skills:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• Recent experience teaching within UK Secondary Schools, ideally within your specialist subject.
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills, with the ability to adapt quickly to different school settings.
• Excellent communication, organisation and interpersonal skills.
• A good understanding of the KS3 and KS4 curriculum, safeguarding and inclusive teaching practices.
• The ability to build positive relationships with young people and create a safe, respectful and engaging learning environment.
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one) and the Right to Work in the UK.

Benefits:

• Competitive rates of pay with temp-to-perm routes available.
• Speedy registration process & fast-track compliance – APSCo Compliance+ accredited for the highest safer recruitment standards.
• Flexible days and working hours to suit your schedule.
• Culture-matched placements – we take the time to understand you and find schools that fit your values, experience and teaching strengths.

• 5+ CPD courses completed before placement, including Safeguarding, SEND & Behaviour, with access to further accredited training through Milk Academy.
• FREE PSHE lesson plans and resources, designed by real teachers.
