Premier Education is currently working on behalf of a small alternative provision in Bolton who are looking for a nurture teacher for the remainder of the year. The role would require the candidate to teach very small classes of KS3 and KS4 students with Special Educational Needs, predominately SEMH who are taking some time out of mainstream education before being placed in a more permanent specialist school.
