  • Join a growing team with strong leadership and specialist support

 

SEMH Teacher | The Role:

  • Deliver high-quality teaching to pupils with SEMH needs within a primary setting
  • Provide structured support to help pupils regulate emotions and engage in learning
  • Work closely with staff to implement consistent behaviour and intervention strategies
  • Track progress and contribute to EHCP targets and pastoral planning
  • Help establish a safe, consistent and inclusive new provision

 

SEMH Teacher | Who We’re Looking For:

  • Primary-Trained Teacher with QTS
