Lower School Teacher (Primary) x2 – SEMH Focus (Fringe Area)
Suitable for ECTs or Experienced Teachers
Can you make a difference in the lives of students?
Do you thrive on challenge and enjoy being solution-focused?
Are you passionate about working in a therapeutic SEMH environment?
If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic primary-trained teacher to join our specialist SEMH school. Our students have often missed significant periods of education due to exclusion from mainstream settings or health-related absences. As a result, they may be working below age-related expectations and require a nurturing, structured, and therapeutic approach to learning.
This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting students with social, emotional, and mental health needs. You will be working at a low academic level initially, assessing students and helping them progress to where they need to be. Our school is on a journey to becoming a fully therapeutic community, and we are looking for staff who want to be part of that transformation.
About the Role:
- Based primarily in our unique Lower School provision (Years 5–7)
- Opportunity to teach across KS2 and KS3
- Work closely with the Lower School Curriculum Lead and Head of School
- Deliver a bespoke, thematic, and kinaesthetic curriculum
- Support students' transition into Year 7 and beyond
What We're Looking For:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent in Primary Education
- Strong knowledge of the KS2 curriculum
- Experience working with SEND or SEMH students is highly desirable
- Energetic, flexible, and creative approach to teaching
- Commitment to building relationships and fostering resilience
What We Offer:
- A supportive and collaborative team environment
- Free lunches
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Charity discount scheme
- Summer and Christmas social events
- Free onsite parking
- Access to a swimming pool
- Excellent internal and external training opportunities
If you're ready to help rebuild lives through education and want to be part of a school that values social development as much as academic progress, we'd love to hear from you.
