CP Riverside School is an Alternative Provision Free School and a proud East Midlands Education Trust member. CP Riverside School is a ‘Good’ school: “There is a strong, shared ambition to provide ‘a mainstream curriculum via an alternative approach’.” (Ofsted, 2022)

We seek to appoint a Literacy Champion who can motivate and inspire students to improve their reading and writing confidence and competency. The successful candidate will work closely with students whose literacy is lower than their expected chronological ability, delivering individualised and small-group interventions.

This position would suit an experienced support staff member looking to enter or continue their work in the exciting and rewarding alternative education sector.

You must be a resilient individual committed to positively impacting the lives of young people.
