 Teaching Personnel are working in partnership with a Secondary Alternative Provision in Blackburn to recruit a Reading Intervention Specialist to start as soon as possible. This is a part-time opportunity (2 days per week) with flexible days and the chance to make a real difference to young people who need targeted literacy support.

Role responsibilities include:

• Planning and delivering effective reading interventions

• Using phonics-based approaches to support struggling readers

• Assessing progress and adapting support accordingly

• Working closely with teaching staff and SEN teams

• Building positive relationships with learners who may have experienced barriers to education

Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience working across primary and/or secondary settings

• Strong knowledge of synthetic phonics and early reading strategies

• A nurturing and patient approach to learning support

• The ability to manage behaviour positively and consistently

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone passionate about literacy and inclusion, looking to work in a flexible, part-time role within a specialist setting.
