What's in it for you?
Join a therapeutic, specialist learning environment where building trusting relationships is at the core of what you do.
Work as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team fully committed to improving outcomes for young people facing significant challenges.
Your input will make a genuine difference—both academically and emotionally—for every student you teach.
The Role
This is not a traditional secondary teaching role. The school is specifically seeking a Primary-trained teacher due to the nurturing, holistic, and therapeutic approach required. You will be delivering a broad, differentiated curriculum to small groups of secondary-aged students, all working at various academic levels.
Responsibilities
Plan and deliver engaging lessons that meet the emotional, behavioural and academic needs of each student.
Create a calm, structured and supportive learning environment by using restorative and therapeutic approaches.
Respond effectively to students’ social, emotional, and mental health needs, adapting where necessary.
Collaborate with colleagues and external professionals, implementing behaviour support plans and promoting positive student outcomes.
Skills and Experience
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Primary teaching qualification is essential.
Experience working with children or young people with SEMH, SEND, in alternative provision or nurture settings is highly desirable.
Excellent behaviour management skills and strong emotional resilience.
Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with students to support their progress both in and out of the classroom.
