As a Primary Teacher, you know that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Every lesson, conversation, and achievement helps build a child’s confidence, resilience, and belief in their own potential.
What if you could use those skills to make an even greater impact?
We are working with a specialist provision in Richmond that supports children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This is an opportunity to join a dedicated team committed to helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and achieve success both academically and personally.
The Opportunity
A growing specialist school is seeking an enthusiastic and compassionate SEMH Primary Teacher to join their team from September 2026. The provision supports pupils with complex social, emotional and mental health needs, many of whom have experienced significant challenges in their lives. Some pupils may also have additional needs, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
The school provides a nurturing, structured environment where relationships are at the heart of everything they do. Staff work collaboratively to create meaningful learning experiences that support emotional development, encourage engagement, and celebrate progress in all its forms.
This is a rewarding role for a teacher who is passionate about inclusive education and committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.
