Tradewind are looking for a dynamic and dedicated teacher to join our team in a specialist SEMH school in Wigan, supporting students who deserve a second chance and a bright future.

About the Role:

You will deliver engaging and accessible Science lessons across KS3 and KS4, adapting your approach to meet the diverse needs of the pupils.

• Experience teaching within SEMH or alternative provisions is highly desirable
• Passion for inclusive education and trauma-informed practice
