Reeson Education is recruiting for a compassionate, resilient, and adaptable SEMH Teacher to join a small alternative provision in the M30 area this September. This full-time, long-term SEMH Teacher role offers the chance to make a genuine impact in the lives of young people aged 11 to 16 who have a range of social, emotional, and mental health needs.

The setting provides a nurturing and therapeutic environment for pupils with SEMH, trauma, anxiety, behavioural needs, ADHD, and many of whom are looked-after children. As an SEMH Teacher, you will work with a small class of pupils with high levels of need, delivering creative, differentiated lessons tailored to their emotional and academic development.

Whether you are primary-trained or secondary-trained, your experience will be valued. Having a specialist subject is welcomed but not essential - what matters most is your ability to connect, adapt, and inspire.

SEMH Teacher - Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver engaging, personalised lessons as an SEMH Teacher
• Create a calm, safe space for learning, using trauma-informed practice
• Differentiate teaching to meet a wide range of abilities and needs
• Deliver targeted interventions to help pupils re-engage with education
• Support pupils with behaviour regulation, emotional resilience, and confidence
• Collaborate closely with support staff, therapists, and senior leaders
• Build strong relationships with pupils who have experienced adversity
• Maintain accurate records of progress, behaviour, and communication
• Act as a positive role model and consistent adult figure as an SEMH Teacher

SEMH Teacher - What We're Looking For:

• QTS or equivalent teaching qualification
• Experience supporting pupils with SEMH, trauma, or additional needs
• Primary or Secondary trained SEMH Teachers are both welcomed
• A nurturing, firm-but-fair approach to behaviour and boundaries
• Confidence in managing challenging behaviour with empathy
• An understanding of therapeutic, trauma-informed practice
• DBS on the update service (or willing to apply)
• Full-time availability from September

Why apply for this SEMH Teacher role?

• Make a life-changing difference to young people with complex needs
• Join a small, supportive, and specialist team
• Enjoy smaller class sizes and personalised teaching approaches
• Be part of a therapeutic, progressive school community
• Competitive daily rate: 143 to 223 per day, depending on experience
• Long-term security with the potential for a direct school contract
