Music Teacher - Secondary SEMH School | September Start

Remedy Education is working with a secondary SEMH school in Leyton that is looking for a Music Teacher to join their team from September 2026.

This is a great opportunity for a Music Teacher who enjoys working with young people and understands how powerful music can be when it comes to building confidence, encouraging self-expression and getting students engaged in education.

The school works with students who may have struggled in mainstream settings and provides a more structured and supportive environment. You'll be teaching Music across the secondary age range, with plenty of scope to make lessons practical, creative and relevant to the students you are working with.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

Planning and delivering engaging Music lessons across KS3 and KS4
Creating practical lessons that encourage students to get involved
Teaching a range of musical styles, instruments and techniques
Supporting students with composition, performance and music technology where appropriate
Using music as a way of encouraging creativity, confidence and self-expression
Adapting lessons to suit different abilities and individual needs
Building positive relationships with students and encouraging them to take an active role in their learning
Managing behaviour calmly, fairly and consistently
Tracking student progress and supporting individual learning targets
Working alongside Teaching Assistants, pastoral staff and the wider school team

Has strong subject knowledge and a genuine passion for Music
Can deliver practical and engaging lessons
Is confident managing behaviour and maintaining clear boundaries
Is patient, approachable and consistent
Can build strong relationships with young people
Is creative and willing to try different approaches to engage students
Understands that progress in an SEMH setting can look different for every studentPrevious experience working within SEMH, SEN, PRU, AP or alternative education would be beneficial, but isn't essential. Mainstream Music Teachers who are interested in moving into an SEMH environment are encouraged to apply.

About the School

The school is a specialist secondary SEMH setting in Leyton, supporting students who need additional help with their behaviour, emotional development and engagement with education.

The environment is smaller and more personalised than a typical mainstream school, giving staff the opportunity to get to know their students and understand what helps them learn.

Music is a great way to engage students who may not always respond well to traditional classroom-based learning, and the school is looking for someone who can bring enthusiasm and creativity into the classroom.

What You'll Get

September 2026 start
Full-time, long-term position
Temp-to-perm opportunity
Specialist SEMH setting
Smaller classes
Supportive leadership and staff team
Opportunity to develop your SEMH experience
Ongoing support and training
The chance to make a genuine difference through Music
