Do you believe in the transformative power of education?

We offer the time and support that ensures, together, we can shape futures.

Join our mission to inspire and empower learners, making a lasting impact.

At Pivot we believe children deserve better. In our academies we teach and support children and young people from Key Stages 2 – 5 who have been excluded from school, for whom mainstream education is simply not working, or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to some complex and challenging children, many of whom come to us with some traumatic backgrounds.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Teacher to join our Pivot 6 team. Our Pivot 6 provision offers specialist support for KS4 children who have been permanently excluded from mainstream school. Our aim in Pivot 6 is to support learners academically and socially to prepare them for transition back into mainstream school.

We are looking for a reflective practitioner with a strong passion for helping every learner in their care reach their full potential. Ideally, your specialist subject will be Maths or Science to complement the existing specialisms within the team.

Our Pivot 6 site is based in Bradley, Huddersfield, however, a significant number of our learners are based in Bradford and therefore travel to our Wibsey provision will be required. Travel between these sites is approx. 15 minutes.

Working at Pivot will give you a real chance to change the lives of our learners and we truly believe you will find working here a rewarding experience.

Don’t miss this opportunity, apply now by completing an application form and returning to the HR team at recruitment@pivot-group.co.uk

We are committed to safeguarding our young people and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure Barring Service check and appropriate referencing.

During the shortlisting process, Pivot will carry out an online search on shortlisted candidates as part of its due diligence.
