We are looking for a dynamic, experienced and visionary Educational and Learning leader to join our committed team at bemix. Someone who has extensive knowledge to draw on and who works in a creative and person centred way.

  • Are you aspirational,resourceful, dedicated and resilient?
  • Are you looking for a role where you lead an education team that is mutually focused, supportive and enthusiastic?

In 2016/17 bemix delivered its first Supported Internship, while subcontracting to an Academy. In August 2017 we became a Special Post-16 Institution (SPI), also registering as a Section 41 institution.We are now in our eighth year and continue to grow stronger year on year. We have development plans to expand into other locations in the future, so we can support more young people to gain sustained and meaningful employment. Through tailored education support, mentoring and coaching and full support both prior and in the workplace, our collective aim is to overcome the many barriers young people with learning disabilities and/or autism face with employment.

Julian – Functional Skills Teacher with bemix says:

"I joined bemix in September 2023 after time spent in retail, industry and for the last twenty years education. With its people centred approach, bemix is unlike any other organisation I have ever worked for and it is only now on reflection that I can honestly say I have finally found a role where I feel I can make a difference. Watching young people develop, discover themselves and gain confidence is a truly humbling experience and I am grateful to be involved in the process."

Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Due to the decision-making and lead presence needed for this role, this is an all year round job opportunity,notterm time only.

We would ask that working hours need to have flexibility to respond to tight deadlines with extra hours worked, as the programme requires.

Salary and benefits: Competitive salary, negotiable with consideration to level of skill and past experience.

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or QTLS) and refined skills of teaching young adults 16 years + with SEND, including young people with learning difficulties and/or autistic spectrum conditions
