Are you a passionate primary teacher looking to make a real difference in the lives of young people?
We’re working with a small, nurturing SEMH provision in Richmond, South West London, that is expanding due to increasing demand.
This is not just a job, it’s a chance to help transform the lives of students with Autism, ADHD, and SEMH who have faced barriers in previous educational settings.
About the Role:
- Teaching primary students in line with the national curriculum
- Small class sizes with a strong emphasis on relationship-building and consistent routines
- Nurture-based teaching, therapeutic support, and a no-exclusion ethos
- Delivering a broad and balanced curriculum, adapted to the needs of each student
- Supported by a fantastic in-house team including Art Therapists, SaLTs, and Occupational Therapists

- Primary-trained ECTs looking for a unique SEND route
- Experienced mainstream teachers seeking a more meaningful and values-led environment
- Unqualified teachers or instructors with relevant SEMH/SEND teaching experience
Requirements:
- QTS is highly desirable, but not essential, with the right experience
- Genuine passion and commitment to working with vulnerable learners
- A strong understanding of trauma-informed practice and nurturing approaches
- Ability to differentiate effectively and manage complex behaviour positively
- A team player with strong communication and emotional intelligence
Why You’ll Love Working with This School:
