Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust is a vibrant family of ten schools across Hull - three secondary and seven primary - united by a shared purpose: to inspire pupils to thrive in life. Each Thrive school is a dynamic community of staff, pupils, and families working together to unlock every child’s potential.

The Opportunity

Kelvin Hall School is looking to appoint a suitably experienced candidate to work alongside colleagues in the school’s Resource Bases, Internal Exclusion, and Reflection provisions. These areas provide bespoke and modified learning opportunities away from mainstream lessons to enable effective learning for specific vulnerable students. You will be responsible for supporting students and implementing strategies to improve the behaviour and attendance of students who may be struggling to meet the school’s expected standards in either of these areas.

What We Offer

• An inclusive and forward-thinking Multi-Academy Trust

• Opportunities for professional growth and development

• Access to our staff benefits platform, including retail discounts, gym membership offers, and savings schemes such as cycle-to-work

• Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme/ Teachers Pension

What You Will Bring

We are looking for committed practitioners to support and implement our strategies for working with students to overcome barriers to learning. We are looking for colleagues who believe in building strong relationships with students and are willing to go the extra mile to support them in being successful in school.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking school which is committed to academic excellence, continual development of staff, and innovative teaching and learning strategies. This is within the context of outstanding pastoral care and curricular provision to ensure the best possible student experience.
