SEMH Teacher

Key Dates Deadline for Applications: 05/06/26 Interview Date: W/C 08/06/26 Who we are Our children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties. The work we do is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support. Our closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, our students can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

Central to this role is knowing the child, building professional, nurturing and positive relationships and motivating students. We are seeking a versatile teacher who alongside teaching their specialist subject is comfortable to teach a second subject – specialist subject teaching = approx. 60%, secondary subject teaching = approx. 30%. Our curriculum offer aligns with the national curriculum and we use Pearson as our exam board. Along with traditional subjects, we offer a range of BTECs in key stage 4. We also teach The Kings Trust Achieve Programme as a core subject – a Life Skills curriculum designed to equip our learners for ‘life beyond the school gate’ supporting each child’s holistic personal development. Our curriculum is broad and aspirational, and we require a teacher who is equipped and experienced in teaching up to GCSE in their subject specialism. We also offer Entry Level/Functional Skills qualifications to our learners on the non-GCSE pathway. ​ Our talented teachers currently delivering none-core subjects (including Art, PE, Health & Social Care) are not technically subject specialists in these areas…as the
