“I have found teaching at MYL is very different to teaching in a mainstream school. The students are considered and celebrated for their individual needs and strengths. We see them holistically and the students social, emotional and mental health challenges are considered alongside their education. I really enjoy teaching here. The classes are small and there is enough time to plan, teach and assess each learner effectively, without affecting my work/life balance!”
Manchester Young Lives does education differently. We build trusting relationships that enable young people to feel respected and safe, facilitating engaging creative personalised learning programmes that leave young people with SEND believing they can succeed. We are looking for passionate values driven professionals who will support young people in our Learning Hubs to believe in themselves and achieve their aspirations.
Do you have a teaching qualification and experience of supporting young people with SEND? Would you like to use your teaching skills in a flexible, creative environment with a good work life balance?
Do to expansion at our Moss Side Centre we are recruiting for a Post 16 SEND Teacher to support young people aged 16 – 25 who have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). Manchester Young Lives Learning Hubs provide a holistic learning environment where young people have the right support to thrive and make successful progressions to employment, education or training. We work with young people to develop individual goals and targets to support their learning and development, as well as offering the opportunity to attend a work or volunteering placement.
As a Post 16 SEND teacher you will work within a small team providing a safe and nurturing environment where young people feel safe and secure. You will be responsible for teaching Functional Skills qualifications in English and Maths to small groups of varying ability levels, as well as delivering engaging and creative enrichment activities to develop life and employability skills and support young people to believe in themselves.
“I prefer working at MYL compared to my previous role as a primary school teacher due to having a much more manageable work-life balance. MYL is big on ensuring that workload is manageable and we have friendly and supportive staff. Small group sizes allows me to focus on individuals and their needs rather than focus on behaviour management.”
MYL is a flexible, supportive and values led environment in which to work. If you have the passion and commitment to make a difference to young people then please do get in touch. We are interested in hearing from experienced teachers, perhaps who have taken a career break and want to return to education in a non-school/college environment, or newly qualified teachers who have the right levels of experience of working with children and young people with additional needs. Preparation and planning time is made available within your working week. This is a full-time role but we are happy to consider job shares, reduced hours or flexible working arrangements for the right candidate.

BACKGROUND
Magic Breakfast’s mission is to champion and provide nourishing breakfasts that help children and young people learn and thrive. The latest research suggests that 2.7 million children are at risk of hunger, meaning one in five children don’t have enough to eat.
When a child is too hungry to learn, they struggle to concentrate, absorb information, and manage their emotions, causing them to fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast makes a difference to 350,000 children and young people every school day, providing a nutritious and filling breakfast each school morning. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma.
We are now at an exciting point in our journey as we launch Nourishing Futures, our long-term strategy, which capitalises on market changes and government commitments to scale our work, while redefining breakfast spaces not just as places to eat, but as places to thrive
