Join James Ray Recruitment

James Ray Recruitment is seeking a committed and resilient SEMH Secondary Teacher to work within an Alternative Provision setting in the Wirral.

This is a rewarding opportunity to support students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, helping them re-engage with education in a structured, supportive, and nurturing environment.

About the Role

As an SEMH Teacher, you will deliver engaging and differentiated lessons to secondary-aged students who may have experienced barriers to mainstream education. You will play a key role in supporting both academic progress and emotional development.

Working within a specialist Alternative Provision setting, you will help create a safe, consistent, and positive learning environment where students can rebuild confidence and achieve success.

Key Responsibilities:

  * Plan and deliver tailored lessons to meet individual learning needs

  * Support students with SEMH needs, promoting positive behaviour strategies

  * Build strong, trusting relationships with students

  * Manage behaviour effectively using de-escalation techniques

  * Track and monitor student progress, both academically and socially

  * Create a structured and engaging classroom environment

What We’re Looking For

  * Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent

  * Experience working with SEMH, SEN, or challenging behaviour

  * Strong behaviour management and emotional resilience

  * Ability to build rapport with disengaged or vulnerable learners

  * Flexible, patient, and empathetic approach

  * A genuine passion for supporting students who need additional guidance

Experience within Alternative Provision or PRU settings is highly desirable but not essential.

Benefits

  * Competitive pay rates

  * Opportunity for long-term or permanent placement

  * Supportive and collaborative working environment

  * Ongoing professional development opportunities

  * Chance to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives

  * Convenient commuting across the Wirral and surrounding areas
