SEN Nurture Teacher

Location: Near Caterham / Chaldon area (Surrey)

Salary: Paid to Scale (MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance)

Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

Start Date: Immediate / ASAP

Are you a passionate educator who believes that every child deserves a bespoke approach to learning? We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and creative Nurture Teacher to join our dedicated team at a specialist secondary school.

This is a specialist setting catering to secondary-aged students with Autism (ASC) and associated challenging behaviours. We pride ourselves on providing a calm, therapeutic, and nurturing environment where students who have previously struggled in mainstream settings can finally thrive.

As a Nurture Teacher, you won't just be delivering a curriculum; you will be building the emotional foundations that allow these young people to engage with the world.

• Lead a small nurture group: Delivering a primary-model curriculum adapted for secondary learners.

• Holistic Development: Focus on social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) alongside academic progress.

• Behaviour Support: Implement positive behaviour management strategies and de-escalation techniques.

• Collaborative Working: Partner with on-site therapists and support staff to create individualised learning plans.

To be successful in this role, you must meet the following criteria:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): This is essential. We welcome applications from both Primary and Secondary trained teachers who have a "nurture" mindset.

• Driving License: Due to the beautiful, rural location of our school, you must be able to drive and have access to a vehicle (public transport links are limited).

• SEN Experience: A proven track record of working with Autism and managing challenging behaviours is highly desirable.

• Resilience: The ability to remain calm under pressure and provide a consistent, safe space for our students.

• Competitive Salary: Paid to scale with additional SEN allowances.

• Professional Growth: Access to specialist training in ASC and therapeutic practices.

• Impact: The opportunity to make a genuine, life-changing difference in a small-group setting.
