We are seeking a resilient and empathetic Qualified Teacher to join our team at Brook Street Social Care. If you have a deep understanding of child and adolescent development and experience with complex behaviour, this could be the perfect role for you.

About Us

We care for 24 young people aged 10 to 18 who have been placed with us following court proceedings, for their own safety, or due to behavioural risks. Our mission is to help these young people develop emotionally, socially, and academically, so they can contribute positively to their families and communities.

  • Adapt your teaching to support each student's strengths and needs.
  • Monitor and assess student progress, providing feedback to encourage growth.
  • Work with a multidisciplinary team to support wider aspects of the centre's educational goals.

Experience teaching STEM subjects is an advantage but not essential.
