ICT + Science and Maths Teacher Working in partnership exclusively with Horizon Teachers This all-through (KS1KS4) alternative provision in Lambeth supports pupils who cannot access mainstream education due to exclusion, illness, unmet SEN needs or other complex factors. The provision caters for pupils who would not otherwise receive suitable education, those on fixed-period exclusions, and those directed off-site by their schools to support behaviour improvement. It operates across two sites, an SEMH setting in West Norwood and a PRU setting in Kennington, and also offers respite placements to schools across all key stages. Many learners arrive with an interrupted or inconsistent educational experience, often linked to persistent exclusions, unrecognised SEN or challenging circumstances. The provision places great emphasis on helping students develop consequential thinking and take responsibility for their behaviour. Expectations, rules and boundaries are clear and consistent, and students learn to understand the link between their actions and outcomes. Central to the ethos is the belief that every child deserves a second chance, and that with personalised support and the right guidance, all students can recognise their strengths and realise their potential. Academic achievement is considered a vital currency for these young people, and great care is taken to identify qualifications that engage and motivate each learner. This approach supports their development as lifelong learners and strengthens their ability to reintegrate into mainstream education beyond the age of sixteen. The young people across both SEMH and AP sites are unique and often require continuous, compassionate and steady support. Alongside academic progress, the provision prioritises social, emotional and personal development, helping students build independence, confidence, communication skills and resilience. Staff lead by example, promoting acceptance, celebrating diversity and modelling the behaviours and attitudes that help students mature into responsible adults with ambition and positive future pathways. The ICT + Science and Maths Teacher will play a central role in delivering high-quality learning across these core subjects for pupilsin KS3 and KS4. The role requires an adaptable and creative teacher who can design and deliver engaging lessons suited to a wide range of abilities and needs. The teacher will draw on relational and trauma-informed approaches to behaviour management, maintaining high expectations while offering a supportive, predictable and caring classroom environment. They will assess learning regularly, identify gaps in understanding and create targeted interventions that help students progress academically and emotionally. Close collaboration with pastoral teams, SEN specialists, external agencies, parents and carers is an essential part of the role. The teacher will contribute to a curriculum that blends academic learning with personal, social and life-skills development, ensuring each pupil receives a tailored package of support. This role is suited to someone with a strong commitment to inclusion, a belief in second chances and a passion for supporting vulnerable learners. Experience within SEMH, AP or SEND settings is helpful but not essential. The ability to maintain consistency, show empathy, and apply restorative approaches to behaviour is highly valued. While Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is desirable, it is not essential; applications are welcomed from unqualified teachers, instructors and candidates with strong subject knowledge or relevant vocational experience. Recruitment is being managed exclusively by Horizon Teachers. The provision has chosen to work solely with Horizon Teachers due to their strong expertise in supporting alternative and specialist settings, their personalised and holistic approach, and their well-established network across London and the South East. Horizon Teachers is part of Operam Education Group, a respected network of education recruitment agencies operating across London, the South East, the Midlands and the North.
