As part of Delta, Education Trust, The Quay School's vision is _
"Learning together in pursuit of happiness"._ This means we really care whether pupils love or hate their learning, so we work hard to create a space where pupils learn together to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent and happy people who make a positive difference, wherever life takes them.
We require someone who can take an innovative approach to achieving the desired results for our students and who can empower young people to see the importance of qualifications as a foundation to a successful journey in life.
Our senior team are always looking for awesome people to join them, and right now are looking for an Outdoor Learning Mentor to work with our Instructor Team to support an outdoor education focused curriculum.
We are looking for a person with a particular interest in supporting the most vulnerable students, including those with behavioural, emotional and social issues.
The successful applicant will be a highly motivated and flexible individual who can form positive relationships with students with a wide range of special needs in order to make a difference for some of the most vulnerable adolescents across Portsmouth and surrounding areas.
You will be part of an inclusive and collaborative team that, no matter what the challenge may be, are ready to face it head on and are committed to seeing it through.
Learning can look different for everyone; learning is continuous and enabled by the broad curriculum, therapeutic interventions, and the environment the school and staffing team create.
It's only through your awesome teaching that we will create that environment together to ensure the pupils progress towards a happy life that they can enjoy.
