St Martins School are looking to recruit Supported Internship Tutor to develop and run a Supported Internship programme in partnership with Royal Derby Hospital, ISS and other partners.
Nationally, only 6.2% of young people with SEND go into paid employment – this is even lower in Derby at only 3.8%. Supported Internships are about opening up more opportunities to those young people. The Derby project has been running for the last five years and we have seen numerous students go into paid employment as a result.
The successful candidate will be based at the hospital and be responsible for leading the education element of the Project, as well as supporting the job coach in the students’ internship rotations. A formal teaching qualification is not necessary.
Applicants must:
Have experience of working with Key Stage 4/5 students with a learning disability
Exhibit strong personal leadership skills
Be able to work independently
Have strong ICT skills and knowledge of social media platforms
