Are you ready to take on a role where your work truly changes lives? A Wigan SEMH school are seeking a passionate, resilient, and dedicated SEMH Teacher to join a specialist secondary provision in Wigan. This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity to support young people who face significant social, emotional, and mental health challenges, helping them rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning, and move toward a brighter future.

Your approach will be grounded in trauma-informed practice and relationship-building, creating a safe, stable space where students feel supported, understood, and motivated to learn. Every day, you'll help students overcome barriers-whether through creative lesson planning, patient guidance, or celebrating those small victories that mean so much.

You’ll work closely alongside an experienced SENCO and a strong pastoral team who share the same commitment to fostering emotional well-being and educational growth. Together, you will ensure that each learner receives the personalised support they need, both academically and emotionally, to move forward positively and, where appropriate, reintegrate into mainstream environments.

It's a setting where staff feel supported, valued, and encouraged to develop professionally - because providing the best for the students starts with investing in the team.
