We are seeking an outstanding, passionate, and resilient SEN Teacher to join our dedicated team permanently at our specialist school, which focuses on supporting pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

This is an exceptional opportunity to shape the learning and personal development of vulnerable young people who thrive in a supportive, therapeutic, and structured environment.

• Utilise your expertise in behaviour management strategies to maintain a positive, safe, and engaging classroom environment where all pupils can achieve.

• Work closely with a dedicated team of Teaching Assistants and support staff, directing their work effectively to ensure the best outcomes for pupils.

• Collaborate with external agencies, parents/carers, and the wider multidisciplinary team (e.g., therapists, social workers) to provide holistic support.

• Contribute to the ongoing development of the curriculum and the overall school ethos.

We are looking for a candidate who is:

• A qualified teacher with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).

• Demonstrably experienced in teaching pupils with SEN, particularly SEMH needs (essential).

• Highly skilled at adapting the curriculum to meet diverse learning styles and abilities.

• Resilient, reflective, and committed to continuous professional development.

• Proactive and skilled in positive behaviour management and de-escalation.

• Able to build strong, trusting, and professional relationships with pupils, colleagues, and parents.

You will be joining a supportive and ambitious school where pupil well-being is at the heart of everything we do. We offer excellent resources, small class sizes, and a commitment to ensuring you have the support and training needed to succeed in this challenging yet highly rewarding field.
