Summary of Role

Red Balloon of the Air helps young people between the ages of 11 and 19 who have self-excluded from mainstream school for various reasons, including Emotion-Based School Avoidance (EBSA). They often have needs that their previous schools were unable to meet.

Some key responsibilities of this role include:

  • Planning and delivering subject teaching that is tailored to the learner’s needs
  • Monitoring learners’ progress and providing formal and informal feedback to parents/carers
  • Adhering at all times to Safeguarding policies and protocols, and always striving to act in the best interests of the young person
  • Collaborating with colleagues to identify and develop best practice
  • Supporting colleagues by providing cover for teaching sessions where required

To be considered for this role as a minimum you will need:

  • Degree in Maths or a related subject
  • Qualified Teacher status
