Delivery Model and Platform Structure
Lessons are 1 hour long in live, timetabled sessions structured across our specialised virtual learning environments:
- EDLive: Small-group, highly focused live timetabled lessons (1:1 to 1:5 ratio) centred on structured PSHE modules, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), Health Education, emotional literacy, curriculum objectives, and core personal development.
- EDTeach: Targeted intervention sessions delivered on a 1:1 or up to 1:3 ratio, designed around key focus points to directly diagnose and address specific barriers to learning, self-regulation, resilience-building, and personal wellbeing.
- EDClass Plus: Live, responsive teaching assistance where teachers support students as they work through guided reflection exercises, scenario-based learning tasks, interactive e-learning modules, and structured pathways, including taking students into live breakout rooms for focused, real-time intervention and scaffolding.
The Role
As an Online PSHE, Resilience and Wellbeing Teacher at EDClass, you will deliver structured, impactful sessions across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 following the statutory DfE guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) and personal development frameworks.
Our platform supports a diverse cohort of learners, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, school refusers, or students facing significant barriers to mainstream education. You will play a vital role in helping young people build emotional resilience, develop essential life skills, understand physical and mental health, navigate online and real-world safety, and build the confidence necessary for successful school reintegration or progression into further education and employment.

- Safeguarding and Multi-Agency Reporting: Uphold the highest safeguarding standards at all times, monitoring pupil wellbeing and disclosing concerns immediately in accordance with our strict safeguarding protocols, while liaising effectively with partner schools.
