What if you could take education beyond the classroom and help young people find their way back into learning?

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 (SEMH) needs.

This is an opportunity to make a difference outside the traditional classroom, delivering personalised education to pupils who face barriers to accessing mainstream learning.

You will play a key role in rebuilding confidence, developing positive relationships and helping young people reconnect with education.

About the role

As an SEMH Outreach Teacher, you will deliver tailored teaching and support to pupils who may struggle to access a traditional school environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering personalised lessons based on individual learning needs.

• Supporting pupils to re-engage with education.

• Building positive and trusting relationships.

• Adapting teaching strategies to different abilities and circumstances.

• Supporting emotional regulation, confidence and positive behaviour.

• Monitoring progress and maintaining accurate records.

• Working alongside school staff, families and other professionals.

• Supporting reintegration and individual learning plans.

This is a varied role requiring flexibility, resilience and the ability to adapt your teaching approach to each young person.

The setting

The school supports young people aged 11–19 with SEMH needs who benefit from a more personalised approach to education.

It places strong emphasis on relationships, emotional wellbeing and individual progress, helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and work towards positive futures.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a qualified teacher with QTS who can engage young people and deliver effective teaching in a less traditional educational environment.

You could be:

• An experienced SEMH or SEND Teacher.

• A mainstream secondary teacher looking for a new challenge.

• An Alternative Provision or PRU Teacher.

• A teacher with experience supporting pupils with behavioural or emotional needs.

You will need strong behaviour management, excellent relationship-building skills, patience and the confidence to work independently.

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

Why this role matters

For some young people, accessing education is the biggest challenge they face.

A consistent teacher who understands their needs can help rebuild trust, restore confidence and make learning feel achievable again.

Your impact will go beyond delivering lessons. You will help young people reconnect with education and take meaningful steps towards a brighter future.
