Flexible teaching opportunities with local schools through a direct booking platform
Flexzo Teach connects education professionals with schools for short term, long term and permanent roles. Register to join the local talent pool in Ivinghoe, near Leighton Buzzard.
About the Setting
This setting is a countryside-based alternative learning provision focused on child-led, curiosity-driven, and project-based education. It provides a calm, small, and nurturing environment where children aged 6–14 are supported to build confidence, independence, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.
The provision's approach combines outdoor learning, holistic education, and trauma-informed practice to support children who may not thrive within mainstream education. Learning is tailored to each child’s interests, strengths, and developmental needs, with a strong emphasis on connection, belonging, and personal growth. While the setting supports children with additional needs (including autism, ADHD, SEMH, and anxiety), its core focus is on personalised learning and helping children thrive outside of a traditional school model.
Roles & Responsibilities
As a Coach, you will play a vital role in guiding learners who require tailored educational and emotional pathways. You will:
- Deliver a creative, hands-on, and nature-based curriculum tailored to individual student interests and strengths.
- Act as a trusted, positive role model, offering a safe, relationship-centred space where children feel heard and valued.
- Implement trauma-informed strategies to help students navigate stress, anxiety, or emotional regulation needs in real-time.
- Foster a curiosity-driven learning environment, helping young people build essential life skills, independence, and social confidence outside of traditional classroom walls.
- Collaborate within a small, dedicated team to adapt learning pathways dynamically, always viewing behaviour as a form of communication.
What You’ll Need
- A strong background in environments such as Alternative Provision, SEN/SEMH support, Forest Schools, Montessori settings, Early Years, Nurture groups, Youth Work, or Therapeutic education.
- The Right Mindset: You are a lifelong learner - reflective, open-minded, calm, and emotionally aware.
- Due to our rural countryside location and limited public transport, being a driver with access to a vehicle is essential.
- A willingness to engage in ongoing training, including specialized communication and crisis management framework training.
- Right to work in the UK
- he UKDBS certificate (or willingness to complete one if required).
- Desirable: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent recognised teaching qualification (as required by the setting).
