INTEGRATED SERVICES PROGRAMME (ISP) Part Time Fostering Advisor Salary: 22,300 - 23,900 per annum prorated Core Hours: 9am - 5pm 3 days per week (21 hours) Working Days: Negotiable Location: Office Based - Milton Keynes Benefits: 30 days' Annual Leave (increasing to 35 days with length of service) + Bank Holidays, Company Pension, Life Assurance, Employee Discount Scheme & Medical Cash (all benefits will be prorated) About Us Set up in 1987 by a small but passionate group of Foster Parents, we became the UK's first independent Foster Care agency. That gives us the benefit of over 30 years' of fostering experience and we're still going strong! The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme. Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered. What we are looking for Have you previously been a foster parent and looking for a career change, then the role of Fostering Advisor could be the role for you. Like our children, foster parents need support, encouragement and practical advice and sometimes just someone to listen. The Fostering Advisors in our teams are key to all of the support required to our foster parents and this critical role will be accountable for regularly visiting foster parents, offering advice and information regarding all the services and support available to them at ISP, Including matching considerations, respite, training, supervised contact, and transportation.

Are you new to teaching and looking to further your knowledge and skills within Science? Or do you already have Science teaching experience and are looking for a new journey? We are currently looking for a nurturing, personable character to teach Science in one of our SEMH settings in Greenwich, South East London. This is a permanent role to start as soon as possible and is an exciting opportunity for aspiring teachers as the school are open to hearing from both qualified and unqualified teachers. Unqualified teacher salaries are £30,000 - £33,000 per year and qualified teachers will be paid as close to the teacher pay scale as possible within their budget. The school does not present with the typical behavioural challenges often associated with alternative or specialist settings. Students are not violent or aggressive; instead, they tend to experience heightened anxiety. All pupils have experienced some form of trauma, most commonly related to bullying, and the majority are supported by EHCPs. For this reason, it is vital that we appoint someone with the right social and emotional approach. Students can find new adults challenging, so a calm, consistent and personable presence is key to success in this role. The environment is informal, relaxed and frequently described as a family unit . Staff are able to dress casually and adapt their teaching creatively, shaping lessons in ways that best support each student s learning and emotional wellbeing. You will be required to teach small classes (maximum of eight pupils) and provide essential one-to-one support from 08:30 - 16:30 each day. Key Responsibilities: Teaching Secondary Science, including GCSEs and Functional Skills. Leading A-Level Chemistry instruction. Supporting students with academic levels ranging from primary to Key Stage 3. Occasional lesson cover as part of the small, supportive 12-person team. Who We Are Looking For: You do not need to be a qualified teacher (QTS) to apply. The school values lived experience and personality fit. Have a strong social and emotional approach with the ability to build deep rapport with anxious students. Avoid an overly authoritative approach, acting more as a mentor or trusted adult while maintaining professional boundaries. Be comfortable working in a non-traditional, highly flexible setting. Benefits and Schedule: Work-Life Balance: The school only operate 36 weeks a year, offering significantly longer holidays than mainstream schools. PPA: The school are a very fair employer providing a full days planning, preparation and assessment time from home and significant emotional support for the staff. Setting: Informal and casual approach to working, working with smaller sized classes, giving the opportunity to build rapport and relationships with students. Training: The school will do their best to cater for any additional training that you require by covering the cost. If you have a passion for science and the empathy to support our SEMH School, we want to hear from you. Call us on or email to be considered for this role. INDQUAL >
