Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Nudge Education Limited is launching Nudge Education Online, a fully online educational provision for learners aged 11 to 18. The Online Educator will deliver live lessons tailored to the needs of students who may find traditional schooling overwhelming, focusing on building connections and adapting teaching methods to ensure effective learning.
Responsibilities
- Deliver live online lessons in your subject via Google Meet to small, deliberately small groups, on a camera-optional basis, so every learner is seen, heard and known
- Teach towards Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs with modular assessment, and towards Functional Skills, ASDAN or Discovery Phase work where that is the right route for a learner
- Pitch, check understanding and adapt in the moment for a mixed group, using the tools online teaching gives you — chat, polls, shared whiteboards, breakout spaces — to draw learners in rather than put them on the spot
- Plan and teach against the exam specification and NEO's schemes of work, adapting resources for varied starting points and access needs
- Set and mark low-stakes, modular assessment, give clear feedback, and keep an accurate picture of each learner's progress in your subject
- Contribute to curriculum and resource development under the Head of Teaching & Learning as the offer grows
- Teach in a way that puts connection before curriculum — relationship-first, low-pressure, and alert to the Cornerstones woven through the week
- Use adaptive, trauma-informed approaches for learners with EBSNA, SEMH needs, SEND or complex school histories, in step with the SENCo's guidance and each learner's plan
- Hold the norms that make an online room safe to join — camera-optional, voice-optional, every contribution welcome — so a quiet learner is never assumed to be an absent one
- Keep your teaching and feedback joined up with the Practitioner-Mentor who holds each learner's pastoral relationship, so a family hears one consistent voice
- Share the learner picture with the SENCo, the Head of Teaching & Learning and fellow Educators, and take part in the agreed teaching and standardisation rhythms
- Stay alert in every lesson, and report any safeguarding concern to the Designated Safeguarding Lead immediately and in full — you support safeguarding, you do not lead it
- Teach safely online: appropriate spaces, managed chat, no unplanned one-to-one contact, and care with links, screen-sharing and recordings
