Job description

Why this role?

You don't need QTS to lead a session for pupils who've been excluded from mainstream - you need relational skill, behaviour-management experience, and the confidence to hold a room that's tested every adult who's walked into it. London's specialist SEMH and AP settings value that lived experience as much as a teaching qualification.

A typical week could include

• Leading learning sessions and delivering pre-planned curriculum content
• Building sustained relationships with young people who've disengaged from mainstream education
• Managing behaviour through relational, non-punitive strategies
• Working within a specialist team rather than covering alone

What you'll need

• Substantial classroom experience and subject knowledge
• Confidence managing challenging behaviour independently
• Enhanced DBS with children's barred list
• Two phone-verified professional references
• Right to work in the UK

Even better if you have

• SEMH, PRU, or AP experience
• Team Teach or de-escalation training
• Lived experience of specialist provision
• Working toward QTS or QTLS
