Wider Ambition is looking for a Physics specialist to teach small groups of students across its settings in Worcestershire. Here are 17 things to know about the role.
1. The organisation
Wider Ambition provides education in calm, low-sensory, home-from-home settings in rural surroundings, with small group and one-to-one teaching.
2. The students

3. Behaviour
The organisation says its students are unlikely to display challenging behaviour.
4. Start date
The role is listed to start in January 2027.
5. Salary
£44,000 to £54,328 a year.
