About the School
This Alternative Provision school, rated “Good” by Ofsted, specialises in supporting pupils who face barriers to learning in mainstream settings. Many learners have experienced trauma, anxiety, or social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. The provision offers a calm, structured, and therapeutic environment where individual progress is prioritised.
With small class sizes and a high staff-to-pupil ratio, the school delivers bespoke learning pathways in academic, vocational, and PSHE subjects. Staff are experienced in building trusting relationships and helping pupils develop resilience, independence, and confidence. Ofsted praised the setting for its strong leadership, safeguarding, and the positive relationships that underpin pupil progress.
Parents and carers value the nurturing ethos and the visible impact the provision has on behaviour, self-esteem, and readiness to learn. For staff, this is a rewarding environment where every breakthrough – big or small – is celebrated, and where you truly make a difference.

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!
Our HR and Safeguarding team consistently go the extra mile to complete your checks as quickly as possible - at no cost to you. To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
