Details: Full-time (Monday to Friday, 9:30am - 3:30pm)

Location: Stoke Hill, Exeter

Start Date: ASAP

Pay/Salary: £15.38ph - £17.95ph during trial (£18,000 - £21,000 p.a. perm equivalent actual salary)

Our expanding Alternative Education Provision in the Stoke Hill areas of Exeter serves primary & secondary-aged pupils with EHCPs relating to Autism, ADHD, SEMH & trauma. Our Headquarters are based in Weston-super-Mare - Elmtree Learning Partnership. Since 2022 we've built a strong reputation for offering outstanding ALP based on our outlook, "Every child. Every opportunity. The right opportunity."

Our ALP operate a ‘revolving-door’ offering whereby students stay at the provision for up to 18 weeks, either on a full-time or part-time 'transition' basis before returning to a mainstream education setting or attending a special school. The roles available are based on demand for learner places.

We are seeking someone with previous experience of having worked with learners that have SEMH and have experienced trauma who may have other needs relating to Autism, ADHD and trauma. The ideal person will be able to act as a positive role model and deliver an alternative education curriculum. We seek individuals that are skilled in recognising the emotional and educational needs of the learner and who are able to respond to and create appropriate learning activities & opportunities around the needs of individual learners. Many of the learners have not engaged in education for a significant amount of time so commonly, an individual approach for each child is necessary. 

If you have already had training in positive behaviour management such as Team Teach / PBM / MAPA and/or THRIVE training we would be particularly interested in hearing from you. If you have practical experience of working with children displaying challenging behaviour and are successful in your application for this post, Team Teach training will be offered free of charge and would be a requirement of the post.

The full-time working day is from 9:30am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday. The preference is for full-time staff however there may be flexiblilty regarding fewer working days.

It would be great to hear from you if you have…

• Experience of working with children who have had to overcome barriers and difficult situations
• The ability to engage parents in supporting children at home by helping to set boundaries and managing behaviour
• The desire to go through training and deliver ideas so that ideas can be implemented.
• Passionate about working with young people in education
• Have a good understanding of what makes an effective intervention strategy
• Are committed to safeguarding young people and helping them overcome difficulties
• Are committed to ensuring students maximise every opportunity to achieve academically and personally
• Are able to work within a dynamic and challenging environment
• Have excellent communication and teamwork skills
• GSCEs in English and Maths at grade C/4 or above

Employer Benefits

• Training opportunities
• Free Uniform
• Company events
• Private Healthcare (after trial completion)

Whilst there are similarities, working at an Alternative Learning Provision does differ from working at a mainstream school setting. However, if you have experience as a Learning Support Assistant (LSA), Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, Youth Support worker or similar, we would still very much be interested in hearing from you.

The role is offered on a 60-day trial period with the intention to offer permanent contract after successful trial completion. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a role that offers training and progression opportunities within the organisation and to be part of a supportive organisation that has expansion plans in the near future.

This role is not suitable for applicants:

• not currently based within the UK
• requiring employer sponsorship for UK right to work
• without UK schools experience

Location: Fishponds, Bristol

Start date: May 2026

Hours: Full-time, 8:30am - 4:00pm, Monday to Friday

Type: Temp-to-perm contract

Salary: £168.80 - £261.78 per day during trial (£32,916-£51,047.36 perm salary comparison, experience dependent)

Our brand new special school for primary-aged learners (KS1, KS2 + Yr7) opened in September 2024 in the Fishponds area of Bristol and we're recruiting for a SEND Teacher (Primary) to join the current staff team.

Elmtree Grove School is open based on the successes of learner outcomes at our 9 Elmtree Learning Partnership AP sites operating since 2022 www.elmtree-learning.org.uk . The school supports up to 28 learners and has plans to increase learner capacity in the future. 

All of the learners we support are vulnerable and have an EHCP to define their additional needs. Creativity, perseverance and an empathetic approach is key to engaging our learners in education and ensuring their progression.

We are inviting applications for a SEND Teacher (Primary) to join our established team and inspire our learners. Our learners need enhanced support to develop their language & literacy skills. Often, our learners have missed significant periods of education so require an empathetic, patient approach with creative, enjoyable & accessible lessons.

This role will involve:

• Delivering an adapted Primary curriculum across our school
• Delivering high-quality lessons to all learners across the school
• Ensuring that all activities are accessible to individual learners who, across the school, have a wide range of needs
• Understanding and supporting the challenges of our learners
• Motivating & inspiring our learners to engage & achieve
• Providing practical resources & strategies for colleagues to use & integrate into other lessons
• Helping to champion the work of our learners

For the SEND Teacher (Primary) we're looking for a qualified primary teacher (holding UK QTS / QTLS) with good SEND experience. Applicants best suited to this role will have previous experience of having worked with learners that have SEND relating to SEMH & trauma who also have other barriers or challenges to their education. Unfortunately for this role ECTs cannot be considered unless they can demonstrate significant previous SEND experience & expertise. There is no current commitment on offer to supporting ECT induction. 

We're growing our team so if you love working with people who are dedicated to supporting young people and strive to support child development in a positive setting, this is the role for you.

Every Child, Every Opportunity, The Right Opportunity

Our approach is to offer a bespoke and relevant learning program for each learner. Integration into standardised education opportunities and social integration is everything we do. No child should have their future negatively affected or be excluded in their later life due to the lack of access or support for education opportunities that are appropriate to their abilities & strengths.

We believe strongly in people and look for people that have:

• Education-relevant qualifications in supporting teaching & learning
• good experience in supporting young people in an education setting
• understanding and expertise in supporting learners with SEND
• skills & strategies in supporting emotional wellbeing
• tenacity & resilience to manage, influence & effect positive behaviours & decisions in learners
• the ability to present a strong role model for young people, including having fun!
• collaborative and pro-active working practices
• a strong sense of responsibility & work ethic

Working with our organisation is a rewarding experience. We offer an enjoyable workplace with additional employment benefits for our permanent staff colleagues:

• Bright HR - online HR management portal also offering partner discounts
• Private Healthcare (Vitality)
• Employee Assist - independent healthcare perks
• Free training - role specific & relevant, accredited training
• Employee Support Assistant - dedicated colleagues to coach & support our employees
• Pension scheme
• company celebration events

Applications are welcomed from candidates that meet the vast majority of the above job & person criteria. We also recognise that many people who are interested in such a role may not have specific experience as detailed so we would still welcome an application from those that have substantial experience of supporting young people with SEND or other challenges in education.

All applications will be managed by Elementa. Successful applications will have a full-prescreen, interview, ‘insight session’ and visit to one of our Alternative Provision sites. Any (permanent) appointment will be subject to a successful interview process, satisfactory references, DBS Enhanced Disclosure (which may be chargeable at £64.20 unless you have a DBS subscribed to the Update Service) and successful completion of employment trial period.

Please apply with your full up to date CV. All applicants will be promptly responded to.

Elmtree Learning Partnership opened the doors to our new site in Thrapston in September 2025 under the name Willow Tree Learning. This service is part of the wider Elementa Education Group family which operate a multi-site Alternative Learning Provision / Alternative Education Provision service and also Elmtree Grove School, an independent SEND School for primary-aged learners. Our ALP / AEP service supports primary and secondary-aged pupils with EHCPs, relating mainly to ASC, SEMH, with their main headquarters based in Weston Super Mare. The ALP / AEP operates a ‘revolving-door’ offering whereby students stay at the provision for up to 18 weeks, either on a part-time basis before returning to mainstream education or attending a special school. Student places are funded by local school or local authority referral. We are recruiting a new team for the new site in Thrapston to support learners aged 5 - 14 years old (KS1, KS2 & KS3.)

We are inviting applications for the SEND Teacher role from candidates with good previous experience of having worked with and supported learners with additional needs relating to SEMH & trauma who may also have other needs relating to ASC / ASD. The preference is for previous experience in a SEND-specific setting. The ideal person will be able to act as a positive role model and deliver an alternative education curriculum. Many of the learners have not engaged in education for a significant amount of time so an individual approach for each child is necessary. If you have already had training in positive behaviour management such as Team Teach / PBM / MAPA and/or THRIVE training we would be particularly interested in hearing from you. If you have practical experience of working with children displaying challenging behaviour and are successful in your application for this post, Team Teach training will be offered free of charge and would be a requirement of the post.

This is a new role to support the new requirements for Alternative Provision providers from September 2026. Initially the role will involve curriculum content drafting & oversight and will go on to develop into outreach & offsite work.

This role is best suited to a Fully Qualified Teacher as ECT induction cannot be supported.

The working day is from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday, term time only.

It would be great to hear from you if you have…

• A passionate manner about working with young people in education
• UK QTS
• Previous SEND-specific experience
• Commitment to safeguarding young people and helping them overcome difficulties
• experience across either primary or secondary phases
• creating exciting & engaging indiidual learner plans
• experience of supporting & leading support staff teams
• Experience of working with children who have had to overcome barriers and difficult situations
• The ability to engage parents in supporting children at home by helping to set boundaries and managing behaviour
• The desire to go through training and deliver ideas so that ideas can be implemented.
• Commitment to ensuring students maximise every opportunity to achieve academically and personally
• The ability to work in a dynamic and challenging environment
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

The role is intended to transfer to a permanent contract upon successful completion of the trial period (60 paid days.) This role is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a role which offers training opportunities and to be part of a supportive organisation which has further local expansion plans in the near future.

Elementa is the recruiting partner therefore applicants being considered for the role after pre-screening may be required to complete the registration process for Elementa.

Our new special school for learners in year groups 6-9 (ages 11-14) is expected to open in September 2026 on the existing site already operating as an Alternative Education Provision

Elmtree Sands School will open based on the successes of learner outcomes at our 9 Elmtree Learning Partnership sites and Independent SEND School which have been operating since 2022 www.elmtree-learning.org.uk . Initially, we will be supporting up to 28 learners with a view to gradually increasing learner capacity in the future. 

All of the learners we support are vulnerable and have an EHCP to define their additional needs or an EHCP in progress. Creativity, perseverance and an empathetic approach when working with them is key to engaging them in education and ensuring their progression.

We are inviting applications for a SEND Teacher to join our talent pool to be considered for joining our new team and inspire our learners. Our learners need enhanced support to develop their language & literacy skills. Often, our learners have missed significant periods of education so require an empathetic, patient approach with enjoyable & accesible lessons.

This role will involve:

• Delivering an adapted curriculum across the school
• Delivering high-quality lessons to all learners across the school
• Ensuring that all activities are accessible to individual learners who, across the school, have a wide range of needs

ECTs can be considered for this role.

We're building our next great team so if you love working with people who are dedicated to supporting young learners that strive to support their development in a positive setting, this is the role for you.

Every Child, Every Opportunity, The Right Opportunity

Our approach is to offer a bespoke and relevant learning program for each learner. Integration into standardised education opportunities and social integration is everything we do. No child should have their future negatively affected or be excluded in their later life due to the lack of access or support for education opportunities that are appropriate to their abilities & strengths.

We believe strongly in people and look for people that have:

• Education-relevant qualifications in supporting teaching & learning
• good experience in supporting young people in an education setting
• understanding and expertise in supporting learners with SEND
• skills & strategies in supporting emotional wellbeing
• tenacity & resilience to manage, influence & effect positive behaviours & decisions in learners
• the ability to present a strong role model for young people, including having fun!

Working with our organisation is a rewarding experience. We offer an enjoyable workplace with additional employment benefits:

• Bright HR - online HR management portal also offering partner discounts
• Employee Assist - independent healthcare perks
• Free training - role specific & relevant, accredited training
• Employee Support Assistant - dedicated colleagues to support our employees
