Location: Liverpool

Salary: £30,900 - £41,200/year (DOE)

Contract: Permanent | Full-Time

Are You a Teacher Looking for Something Different?

Are you passionate about teaching but looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference to young people's lives?

Do you enjoy working with smaller groups, building positive relationships and helping students who may have struggled in mainstream education?

Simply Education is recruiting passionate and enthusiastic Teachers specialising in English, Maths or Science to join a supportive Alternative Provision (AP) setting.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to move away from the traditional classroom environment and focus on what really matters - helping young people rebuild their confidence, enjoy learning and achieve their potential.

Whether you're an experienced teacher or looking to take your teaching career in a new direction, we'd love to hear from you!

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Not every young person thrives in a mainstream school, and that's where you come in.

You'll be working with students who may have experienced challenges in education and need a little extra encouragement, patience and understanding.

Your role will be about much more than delivering lessons. You'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, celebrate individual achievements and help young people develop the skills and confidence they need for their future.

You'll be joining an organisation that genuinely values its staff, invests in their development and understands the importance of a healthy work-life balance.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Planning and delivering engaging lessons in English, Maths or Science.
• Adapting your teaching to suit different learning styles, abilities and individual needs.
• Building positive relationships with students who may have struggled in mainstream education.
• Creating a welcoming, safe and supportive classroom environment.
• Helping students improve their confidence, behaviour and engagement with learning.
• Monitoring progress and celebrating achievements, no matter how big or small.
• Working closely with colleagues and support staff to ensure every student receives the support they need.
• Encouraging students to develop important life skills and prepare for their next steps in education or employment.

What Are We Looking For?

We're looking for someone who is passionate about education, approachable and genuinely wants to make a difference.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience teaching English, Maths or Science.
• QTS, QTLS or a willingness to work towards a recognised teaching qualification.
• Previous experience working in a school or educational setting, ideally at secondary level.
• An understanding of SEND, SEMH or Alternative Provision, although direct experience is not essential.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with young people.
• A patient, flexible and understanding approach to teaching.
• The confidence to adapt lessons and think creatively to keep students engaged.
• A commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and supporting student wellbeing.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who cares about their students and wants to see them succeed.

What's in It for You?

We know that teachers give so much to their students, so it's important that they feel supported and valued too.

The successful candidate will benefit from a fantastic range of rewards and opportunities, including:

Career Development & Training

• Excellent opportunities for career progression.
• Support towards professional qualifications and additional training.
• Investment in staff development, with approximately £3,500 invested per colleague last year.

Health & Wellbeing

• Access to discounted gym memberships.
• Free wellbeing app with fitness, yoga and mindfulness resources.
• Dedicated counselling and wellbeing support.
• Medicash healthcare cashback scheme, offering up to £900 annually towards eligible healthcare costs.

Work-Life Balance

• Generous holiday entitlement.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
• Additional leave for foster carers.
• A commitment to reducing unnecessary administration and supporting staff wellbeing.

Additional Benefits

• Death in Service Insurance worth four times your annual salary.
• £500 employee referral bonus.
• Monthly, quarterly and annual staff recognition awards.
• Access to exclusive discounts and rewards through MiRewards.
• Regular opportunities to connect with senior leadership.
• Annual group conferences and staff events.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're a Teacher who wants to feel valued, supported and excited about going to work, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

You don't need to have all the answers or years of Alternative Provision experience. What matters most is your willingness to support young people, adapt your teaching and help students achieve things they may never have thought possible.
