SEN Teacher - SEMH & Complex Needs

The Role:

• Planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons.

• Creating safe, structured and positive classroom environments.
• Building trusting relationships and encouraging positive engagement.
• Using trauma-informed and restorative approaches to support learning.
• Working closely with support staff and external professionals.

We're Looking For:

• QTS or an appropriate recognised teaching qualification.
• Experience teaching pupils with SEMH or additional behavioural needs.
• Confidence managing challenging situations calmly and consistently.
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
• A resilient, empathetic and adaptable approach.
