Vacancy Information
At Pivot we believe learners deserve better. We are a specialist independent provision with sites in Kirklees, Wakefield, Bradford and Leeds. In our academies we teach and support learners from Key Stages 1 – 5 who have been excluded from school or those with an EHCP who require a specialist placement. Every day our teams do incredible work, making a huge difference to the lives of complex and challenging learners.
We are currently seeking an experienced and reflective Teacher to join our new Pivot 6 provision in Bradford.
Our Pivot 6 provision offers specialist support for KS3 & 4 learners 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. Our curriculum offer is focused on developing the whole learner, working with their interests to engage them in education in order for them to feel successful and to take positive steps in their journey to adulthood and beyond.

Inclusive environment: We cater for learners with diverse learning needs, providing a positive, supportive and nurturing atmosphere where you can thrive as a teacher, purposefully delivering exciting lessons that meet specialist needs.
Small Class Sizes: Enjoy the benefits of teaching smaller groups, allowing for personalised attention and meaningful connections. This means more time to plan, deliver and assess, making the difference in the classroom, where it really matters.
Holistic Approach: We focus on developing not only academic skills but also life and personal skills, fostering well-rounded individuals, transforming the futures of our learners.
Collaborative Team: Join a small, passionate team of educators committed to making a difference in learners’ lives. Receive full support from a dedicated team of senior leaders and colleagues, with a focus on your professional development and career progression.
Ethical Commitment: Join a community that values empathy, kindness, and integrity.
What we are looking for:
Passion: A love for teaching and a desire to ignite curiosity in our learners.
Adaptability: Flexibility to tailor teaching methods to individual learners’ needs.
Empathy: Understanding and supporting learners using trauma informed practice.
Creativity: Innovative approaches to make subjects engaging and relatable.
Commitment: Helping learners to achieve their potential, with high expectations of themselves and others.
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.
We also offer:
A supportive and forward-thinking school culture
Ongoing professional development and support for relevant qualifications
Focus on wellbeing for all & access to employee assistance programmes
