Are you a creative and patient Media Teacher passionate about igniting learning through technology? Do you excel at engaging neurodivergent children who find mainstream education challenging, helping them discover their potential through film-making, editing, and content creation? Randstad Education is thrilled to partner with a technology focused Alternative Provision to recruit an inspiring specialist to deliver a unique media curriculum in the Rochdale area.
The Role: This is a deeply rewarding role focused on making a real difference. You will work with small groups (4-5 pupils), initially in a 1:1 or 1:2 setting, to:

Our Client provides a clear, tech-based curriculum and access to high-quality equipment, including green screens, Mac-Books, editing software, and cameras.
