How our sorting works

The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:

  • Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
  • Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
  • Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
  • Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

    Job description

    Join a dedicated team supporting children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs within schools in the Wakefield Area.

    * Demonstrate resilience, flexibility, and a proactive approach to supporting individual learning and development.

    What to expect?

    You will:

    * Encourage pupils through regular praise and positive reinforcement, helping to develop their confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for learning.

    * Provide tailored support to promote pupils' academic achievement, as well as their social, emotional, and communication development.

    * Apply effective behaviour management techniques to foster positive behaviours and maintain a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment.

    * Work collaboratively with teachers, SEND professionals, and wider school staff to deliver individual support plans that address each pupil's unique needs and enable them to achieve their potential.

    Benefits of Supply Teaching with Academic Appointments:

    Opportunity to gain experience across a wide range of educational settings.
    Specialist divisions tailored to your career goals, including Permanent, Supply, Tuition & Intervention, and Special Educational Needs (SEND) roles.

    What we need from you:
    Two professional references.

    * A valid right-to-work in the UK (We can not sponsor Visas for this role)

    * A valid Enhanced DBS Certificate or willingness to obtain one with us.

    * Team Teach Positive, MAPA or equivalent Behaviour Management training is desirable but not essential.

    If this is the role for you, please Apply Now or contact Chloe for more information.

    Rate of pay is dependent on current grade, experience, and payroll method.
