About the role

Not every young person finds it easy to access education. Sometimes, the right teacher needs to take education to them.

A specialist SEMH secondary school in West Drayton is looking for a dedicated and adaptable Outreach Teacher to support young people aged 11–19 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.

This is an opportunity to work beyond the traditional classroom, delivering personalised learning and building positive relationships with pupils who may experience significant barriers to education.

You'll play an important role in helping young people re-engage with learning, rebuild confidence and work towards a successful return to education.

The setting

The school supports young people with SEMH needs who benefit from a more personalised and supportive approach to education.

With a strong emphasis on relationships, emotional wellbeing and individual progress, the school aims to help pupils overcome barriers and recognise their potential.

The role

As an SEMH Outreach Teacher, you will:

Deliver personalised teaching to pupils who may struggle to access a traditional classroom.
Support young people to re-engage with education and learning.
Plan and adapt lessons around individual needs and abilities.
Build trusting relationships with pupils who may be disengaged from education.
Support emotional regulation, confidence and positive behaviour.
Monitor progress and maintain accurate records.
Work closely with school staff, families and other professionals.
Help develop individual learning plans and reintegration strategies.
Encourage attendance, participation and consistent engagement with education.

You will need to be flexible, resilient and confident adapting your approach to different pupils and circumstances.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a qualified teacher with QTS who is passionate about making education accessible to young people with additional needs.

You could be an experienced SEMH or SEND teacher, an alternative provision teacher or a mainstream teacher looking for a different kind of challenge.

You will be:

Confident planning and delivering personalised lessons.
Experienced in behaviour management and relationship building.
Patient, empathetic and emotionally intelligent.
Resilient and adaptable when faced with challenging situations.
Confident working independently and as part of a wider team.
Able to engage pupils who may have experienced barriers to education.
Committed to helping young people achieve positive outcomes.

Previous experience in SEMH, SEND, PRUs or alternative provision would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why this role matters

For some young people, accessing education is the first and biggest challenge.

A consistent, supportive teacher can help rebuild trust, restore confidence and show pupils that education is still an option for them.

Your impact will go beyond delivering lessons. You'll be helping young people reconnect with learning, develop positive routines and take steps towards a more successful future.
