Specialising in Severe Behaviour Needs | Primary & Secondary Pupils
Are you confident supporting pupils who need more than a traditional classroom approach? Do you have the resilience, training, and emotional intelligence to work with children and young people with severe social, emotional, and behavioural needs?
Remedy Education is working with a forward-thinking SEMH school in Newham that supports primary and secondary-aged pupils with high levels of need.

Providing calm, consistent support for pupils with severe and challenging behaviours
Using Team Teach and de-escalation techniques to manage and reduce incidents
Building trusting, respectful relationships with pupils who may struggle with authority or emotional regulation
Supporting learning in class and during unstructured times, using a trauma-informed approach
Working closely with SENCOs, teachers, and behaviour leads to follow individual behaviour plansWhat We're Looking For:
Experience working in an SEMH, PRU, or specialist SEN provision
Confidence supporting pupils with extreme behaviours, emotional dysregulation, or past trauma
A no-nonsense, calm and compassionate attitude - someone who doesn't take things personally
Team Teach certification (or willingness to be trained)
Experience implementing or supporting Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) or similar strategies
A valid Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply through us)
What the School Offers:
A structured, well-supported environment with clear behaviour systems
Ongoing training in Team Teach, trauma-informed practice, and behaviour management
A tight-knit, collaborative staff team who have each other's backs
