Role: Nurture Teacher
Location: Richmond
Contract: Long term to permanent
Start date: September 2026
Main Pay Scale: £37,870 - £50,474 Outer London
As a nurture teacher, you provide the safety, understanding, and consistency that children need to feel valued and secure by creating strong relationships that help pupils overcome barriers to learning. Within an SEMH setting, this nurturing approach becomes life-changing, empowering children to regulate emotions, build confidence, and thrive both socially and academically.
An expanding specialist school are looking for a Nurture Teacher to join their Key Stage 3 team and be a part of their journey in supporting children with complex Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties. This environment is very challenging; you will be engaging with children who have experienced trauma, many of which have a dual diagnosis of ADHD/ASC.
This school understands the importance of education, but also the gap that comes with supporting children with SEMH in education. The school is dedicated to changing this narrative by creating a flourishing environment for these pupils, by providing a provision that prepares them for life beyond school and creating meaningful steps for change. The curriculum offers enriching opportunities tailored to each child’s development and led with the principles of warmth, nurture and structure.
What you will bring
- Ensure effective teaching through clear objectives that build on children’s abilities.
- Provide structured and engaging tasks within lessons that appropriately challenges pupils.
- A positive and resilient personality that motivates pupils to achieve and encourages positive behaviour.
- Experience in supporting pupils during transitional periods.
- QTS is essential, understanding of complex SEMH needs is desirable.
