About the role

Help young people develop the skills they need to succeed in life, not just in the classroom.

A specialist secondary school in West Drayton is looking for a passionate and motivated SEMH PSHE Teacher to join its teaching team.

Working with students aged 11–19, you'll deliver a meaningful curriculum that helps young people develop self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthy relationships and the confidence to make positive choices.

This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who wants to work in a setting where relationships matter, progress is celebrated and every lesson has the potential to make a difference.

The setting

The school supports young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs who benefit from a more personalised approach to education.

With small class sizes, specialist support and a strong focus on individual development, the school aims to create an environment where pupils feel safe, valued and ready to learn.

The role

As an SEMH PSHE Teacher, you will:

Plan and deliver engaging PSHE lessons across secondary age groups.
Cover relationships, health, wellbeing, identity and personal safety.
Teach topics including online safety, consent and positive relationships.
Help pupils develop emotional literacy and self-confidence.
Encourage informed decision-making and independent thinking.
Make learning accessible to pupils with additional needs.
Manage behaviour through positive relationships and consistent expectations.
Monitor progress and contribute to individual development.
Work alongside a dedicated team to support pupils' wider needs.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a qualified teacher with QTS who can bring PSHE to life and engage young people with different learning needs.

Applications are welcome from teachers with experience in PSHE, Citizenship, Health and Social Care or related secondary subjects.

You should be:

Confident planning and delivering engaging lessons.
Experienced in classroom and behaviour management.
Patient, approachable and emotionally intelligent.
Able to adapt teaching to different abilities and needs.
Skilled at building positive relationships with young people.
Passionate about inclusion and personal development.

Experience in SEMH, SEND or alternative provision would be advantageous, although mainstream teaching experience will also be considered.

Why join this school?

This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional classroom teaching and help young people develop skills that will stay with them throughout their lives.

You'll be supporting pupils to understand themselves, build positive relationships, overcome challenges and develop the confidence to make their own decisions.

For a teacher who wants their work to have a lasting impact, this is a particularly rewarding opportunity.
