Summary of the role:


This casual contract role is responsible for delivering education to a small group of students or individual student using creative approaches to help them reach their academic potential.

The students are referred to us for a variety of reasons which mean they are not able to access mainstream education.

Reasons for this include students with SEN, medical needs or those that have been permanently excluded. Some assignments will have an end date but most will be for an indeterminate amount of time. This role may also be used to work on short term notice as a cover teacher if applicable.


Responsibilities:

  • Attend an initial meeting and attempt to engage with the student making them feel comfortable in your presence.
  • Write a risk assessment for the student reflecting their history and what you have learnt from them at the initial meeting. Visit any spaces where the education is due to take place and consider those environments within the risk assessment.
  • Discuss with the Curriculum & Pathways Officer or Head of Centre the Individual Education Plan (IEP) and ensure you understand what curriculum you should be studying with the student.
  • Prepare detailed, interesting and relevant lesson plans and schemes of work for the agreed curriculums. Tailor these to meet each student or class' needs. These need to be available if requested.

  • Improve students' skills in literacy and/or numeracy and build their confidence through creative and academic learning.
  • Develop and create new interesting resources for delivering lessons.
  • Arrive on time to offsite/onsite sessions at the agreed location or to a centre for the expected time.
  • Be well presented and polite during work time especially when meeting students, parents, staff and professionals.
  • Meet with professionals connected to your student(s) and attend educational reviews to discuss the progress of students if the need arises (paid at meeting rate if outside of teaching hours).
  • Approve weekly timesheets in a timely fashion.
  • To conduct individual student risk assessments including assessing the environment for learning and for any planned trips.
  • To conduct baseline assessments and ongoing literacy and/or numeracy tests, in line with the national curriculum, to help assess the students' development.
  • To read and follow the assigned students' individual education plan (IEP).
  • Attend all weekly TCW training sessions/meetings that fall during the period that you are working on an assignment (paid at training rate).
  • Write detailed half-termly/end of programme reports and any other interim reports as required.
  • Prepare for and be supportive of lesson observations.
  • Liaise with the Teaching and Learning team if you require additional support.
  • To work in line with the TCW staff criteria in Teaching and Learning, Professionalism and Creativity.
