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.

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.
