Nurture Teacher

Location: West Drayton, Middlesex
Salary: M1 – UPS3 Outer London Pay Scale + SEN Allowance
Contract: Full time, permanent
Start Date: ASAP

What if your teaching could do more than deliver lessons — what if it could change how a pupil sees themselves and their future?

For pupils with SEND and SEMH needs, the right teacher can be the person who helps them rebuild confidence, discover their strengths and begin to believe in what they can achieve.

A specialist education setting in West Drayton is looking for a committed Nurture Teacher to join its team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about supporting pupils with additional needs and wants to create a calm, structured and nurturing environment where every pupil can make progress.

You will play an important role in helping pupils feel understood, supported and challenged to achieve their potential.

About the Role

As a Nurture Teacher, you will plan and deliver engaging, purposeful and differentiated lessons that respond to the individual needs of pupils with SEND, SEMH and additional learning needs.

You will create a calm, structured and nurturing classroom where pupils can develop confidence, resilience, independence and a positive relationship with learning.

You will take a personalised approach to teaching, adapting your practice to remove barriers to learning and helping pupils re-engage with education.

The Role

You will:

• Plan and deliver high-quality, differentiated lessons

• Teach pupils with SEND, SEMH and additional learning needs

• Adapt teaching approaches to remove barriers to learning

• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils

• Maintain high expectations while recognising individual needs

• Assess, monitor and record pupil progress

• Develop personalised approaches to support individual pupils

• Create a safe, calm and consistent learning environment

• Support pupils to develop confidence, resilience and independence

• Use appropriate strategies to support behaviour and emotional regulation

• Work closely with colleagues to provide consistent support

• Liaise effectively with parents, carers and external professionals

• Contribute to EHCP targets and review processes

• Support individualised learning and intervention programmes

• Promote inclusive practice and positive pupil wellbeing

• Contribute to a positive culture around SEND and inclusion

About You

You may already be working as a Nurture Teacher, SEN Teacher, SEMH Teacher or experienced mainstream Teacher with a strong understanding of additional needs.

You will have:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

• Experience teaching pupils with SEND, SEMH or additional learning needs

• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills

• A good understanding of inclusive teaching and differentiation

• Excellent communication and organisational skills

• The ability to build strong relationships with pupils and colleagues

• Confidence working with parents, carers and external professionals

• A commitment to high standards of teaching and learning

• A genuine passion for SEND and inclusive education

Most importantly, you will understand that behaviour is often communication.

You will recognise that some pupils need a different approach, greater consistency and the right relationships around them — not lower expectations.

Why This Role Matters

This is more than a teaching position.

You will have the opportunity to influence how pupils experience education, helping them overcome barriers that may have previously prevented them from engaging, succeeding and believing in themselves.

Through nurturing relationships, consistent support and high-quality teaching, you can help pupils develop the confidence and skills they need to take their next steps.

It is a role where your classroom practice can have a lasting impact.

What You Can Expect

• Permanent, full-time position

• M1 – UPS3 Outer London Pay Scale + SEN Allowance

• Specialist education environment

• Supportive professional team

• Opportunities for professional development and career progression

• The opportunity to work with pupils with SEND and SEMH needs

• A nurturing environment focused on individual pupil development
