This role is ideal for an educator who thrives on making a meaningful difference to the lives of young people with additional behavioural, emotional and social needs.
These students have been permanently excluded from their mainstream schools and have difficulties with emotional regulation, social interaction and mental well-being. These needs can stem from a range of experiences including trauma, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, attachment disorders, or other neurodivergent profiles.

Emotional regulation (e.g., sudden anger, sadness, or withdrawal)
Forming and maintaining relationships
Trusting adults and peers
Coping with structure or academic pressure
Communicating needs appropriately
Key Responsibilities
Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons that meet the needs of pupils with SEMH profiles

Monitor and report on academic, social and emotional progress
Contribute to individual support plans and review meetings
Promote an inclusive, nurturing environment where every student feels valued and supported
About You
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or relevant teaching qualification
Experience working with SEMH pupils or within a specialist provision (desirable, not essential)
Strong behaviour management skills grounded in empathy, consistency and trauma-informed practice
Ability to differentiate effectively and adapt to diverse learning needs
