Inspire, Motivate and Empower Learners Through Humanities & PHSE
Are you a passionate Humanities / PHSE Teacher who believes every young person deserves an engaging and accessible education? Do you thrive in creative environments where relationships, curiosity and wellbeing sit at the heart of learning? Whether you are an experienced teacher or an ECT eager to make a difference, this role offers a unique opportunity to transform the lives of learners with SEMH and additional needs.
Join a growing, Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ special school supporting young people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and social, emotional and mental health challenges. The school is expanding across Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, offering you the chance to help shape a forward-thinking curriculum and make a lasting impact.
The Role
As a Humanities / PHSE Teacher (SEMH), you will deliver creative, accessible and meaningful lessons to KS3 and KS4 pupils across two small, nurturing campuses. With class sizes up to 10 students and a learning approach rooted in movement, connection and curiosity, this is a role where you can truly teach beyond the textbook. Your lessons will bring humanities concepts and PHSE themes to life, helping students explore the wider world, understand themselves and develop the confidence to thrive.
Key Responsibilities

Use creative, hands-on and movement-based approaches to make learning memorable
Support pupils’ academic progress as well as their emotional and social development
Work collaboratively with pastoral, therapeutic and education teams
Plan and assess against EHCP outcomes, ensuring every learner makes meaningful progress
What Makes This School Stand Out
A creative, flexible curriculum designed around exploration and self-expression
Physical activity embedded in 50% of the school day to support regulation and focus
Trauma-informed, non-restraint behavioural practice
Small classes with strong staff-to-pupil ratios for personalised learning
Onsite multidisciplinary therapeutic support for holistic development
What We’re Looking For
QTS or QTLS (essential)
Experience in mainstream or SEN settings (Humanities/PHSE experience strongly preferred)
Confident in adapting learning for pupils with EHCPs and SEMH needs
Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to re-engage learners
Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential for travel between sites)
What You’ll Gain
A rewarding role in a purpose-led school committed to inclusion and growth
Tailored CPD and career progression
A supportive, collaborative school culture that values staff wellbeing
Ongoing guidance from a dedicated Inspire EHC consultant
Clear development pathways within an innovative, expanding educational community
