SEMH Teacher – Transform Lives Through Education
East London - Temp to Perm
Are you an empathetic and resilient Post-16 Teacher looking for a role where you can truly make a difference? This specialist SEMH school in East London provides education and emotional support to young people who have faced significant challenges, including trauma, adversity, and social exclusion. These students need more than just a teacher - they need a mentor, a role model, and someone who believes in their potential.
The Role
This is not a traditional teaching role. It’s an opportunity to use a therapeutic, student-centered approach that prioritises emotional well-being before academic progress. You will:
- Deliver engaging lessons that cater to students with SEMH needs, trauma backgrounds, and social communication difficulties.
- Use de-escalation techniques and trauma-informed strategies to foster a calm and supportive learning environment.
- Build strong, trusting relationships with students who may have disengaged from education.
- Adapt your teaching to meet individual needs, ensuring that each student feels valued, supported, and motivated.
Why This School?
- Specialist Support & Training – Gain expertise in SEMH teaching methods, trauma-informed practices, and therapeutic approaches.
- Career Progression – Opportunities to move into leadership, pastoral, or specialist SEND roles.
- Supportive Team – Join a school that prioritises staff well-being and professional development.
- Make a Real Impact – Work with students who need education tailored to their unique experiences and challenges.
- Flexible Pathways – Whether you’re looking for long-term security or a stepping stone in your career, this role offers both.
Who We’re Looking For
If you have experience working with disengaged or vulnerable young people - whether in education, youth work, or a related field - and are passionate about creating a positive learning experience, we’d love to hear from you.
