Location: Burnley, Lancashire
Start Date: ASAP
Salary: £168.80 - £232.56 per day
Contract: Temporary to Permanent (Temp-to-Perm)
Are you an resilient educator looking for a fresh start in Burnley?
Tradewind are seeking a dedicated and trauma-informed SEMH Teacher to join a forward-thinking specialist school in Burnley. This school supports students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, as well as Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC).
This is a Temp-to-Perm opportunity, meaning you have the chance to ensure the school is the right fit for you before committing to a permanent contract. If you have a passion for re-engaging "hard to reach" learners, we want to hear from you.
The Role
Plan and deliver a bespoke curriculum for small classes (typically 5-8 students) with varying academic abilities.
Manage complex behaviours using de-escalation techniques and a nurturing, calm approach.
Foster a safe learning environment where students feel supported to overcome barriers to learning.
Work alongside a multidisciplinary team, including therapists and experienced TAs, to implement EHCP targets.
Build strong relationships with students who may have experienced previous educational trauma.
The Ideal Candidate
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS is essential.
Experience in SEMH or ASC settings is highly desirable, though we welcome applications from mainstream teachers with strong behaviour management skills.
Nurturing yet firm: You must be able to set clear boundaries while maintaining an empathetic outlook.
Resilient and Adaptable: No two days are the same; you must be able to "think on your feet."
Team Player: You will be leading a team of support staff and must communicate effectively.
Why Apply?
Temp-to-Perm Security: Gain a permanent role through a supported trial period.
Competitive Pay: Paid to scale from day one in most instances.
Burnley Based: Easily accessible via the M65 and local public transport links.
Expert Support: Dedicated consultants who understand the SEN sector in Lancashire.
