Are you a qualified teacher who wants to do more than simply deliver lessons?

For pupils with SEMH needs, the right teacher can make a huge difference — building confidence, creating consistency and helping them re-engage with education.

Could you be that teacher?

About the Role

We’re working with a specialist SEMH provision in Thurrock, supporting pupils at Year 6 level who may have experienced challenges within education.

You’ll create engaging, appropriately differentiated lessons while providing a calm, structured and nurturing environment.

You’ll be:

• Teaching pupils at Year 6 / KS2 level

• Supporting pupils with SEMH and additional needs

• Planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons

• Building positive and trusting relationships

• Supporting behaviour, confidence and emotional regulation

• Helping pupils develop independence and positive attitudes towards learning

• Working closely with support staff and other professionals

About You

You must hold QTS and be confident teaching at Year 6 / KS2 level.

Experience working with SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour would be highly beneficial, although strong behaviour management, inclusion and differentiation skills will also be valued.

We’re looking for someone who is calm, patient, resilient and consistent, with the ability to adapt their approach to individual pupils.

About the School

The school provides a specialist SEMH environment where relationships, consistency and individualised support are at the heart of education.

You’ll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to pupils who need the right environment and support to reach their potential.

The role is available on either a temporary-to-permanent or permanent basis, with an ASAP start available.
