The Bewdley School is a comprehensive 11 to 18 school serving the town of Bewdley and its surroundings. The majority of students come from affluent backgrounds with a lower than national average number attracting Pupil Premium. Despite this, the intake is truly comprehensive and the school caters for all abilities and aptitudes. Student behaviour is good and teachers are able to deliver lessons in a calm and supportive environment.
From a professional development perspective, the school has a growing culture of inquiry-based research and professional learning. Monitoring is low key and approached collaboratively, with an emphasis on developing the professional independence and capability of teachers, as a highly skilled self-supporting professional learning community. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum at Key Stage 3 with a healthy emphasis on creative subjects and a full range of GCSE and Advanced Level subjects.
If you would like to teach to the full spectrum of demand, from those with specific learning difficulties to unconventional thinkers and future Russell Group students, Bewdley will not disappoint. The school offers an idyllic rural setting well-maintained high quality facilities and enthusiastic and supportive colleagues. The leadership culture is open and collegiate with many opportunities to develop your leadership skills.

We seek to appoint a part-time (12.5 hours a week) Youth Engagement Co-Ordinator to work during term time with the youth community of Bewdley. The successful candidate will work at Bewdley Youth Hub, providing an engaging range of activities. Bewdley Youth Hub is a highly successful and popular facility within the town of Bewdley attracting large numbers within the community on a regular basis.
The ideal candidate will be someone who has youth work experience or the relevant youth qualifications for this post. The role will involve managing and organising the Youth Hub to open 3 evenings a week (Tuesday to Thursday), offering a diverse range of activities for the youth community between 5pm and 9pm. As well as engaging with other organisations and volunteers to run activities within the Hub, and completing the associated administration with the post.
The post has the option of an additional 5 hours per week (to equal 17.5 hours) to provide lunchtime engagement activities with students for 1 hour per day (such as multi-skills, football etc) at The Bewdley School. However, this is negotiable with the successful candidate as to the number of days per week this is offered.
Given the substantial negative impact of the pandemic and its restrictions on the mental health of young people, there is an urgent need to enhance the youth provision in the town, to offer opportunities for social interaction and active participation. The key purpose is the delivery and development of a wide programme of diverse activities and projects for the young people of Bewdley, in partnership with Bewdley Youth Forum.
The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work closely with our charitable partner https://www.thewilliammillsfoundation.org/
