Job description

Nurture Teacher - KS3 & KS4

Start: Immediate Full-Time Static Nurture Class

Are you a resilient, compassionate teacher who thrives on making a real difference?

We're looking for a dedicated Nurture Teacher to take ownership of a small, static nurture class supporting some of our most vulnerable learners. This is a hugely rewarding role for someone who believes in second chances, strong relationships and tailored teaching.

? The Role

• Teaching all subjects within a static nurture class
• Working mainly with Year 7 & 8 students
• Supporting pupils with significant emotional, behavioural and learning needs
• Maximum of 8 students in the class (currently just 5)
• Teaching Assistant support at all times
• Focusing on engagement, regulation, confidence and progress, not just data

The Students

• Learners who really struggle in mainstream settings
• Require high levels of nurture, structure and consistency
• Thrive with strong routines, trauma-informed practice and calm leadership

What We're Looking For

• A teacher with excellent behaviour management
• Someone calm, patient and emotionally intelligent
• Confident delivering multiple subjects at a differentiated level
• Experience with SEND, SEMH or nurture provision is highly desirable
• A teacher who genuinely wants to change outcomes, not just tick boxes

Why Apply?

• Very small class sizes
• Strong pastoral focus with real impact
• Consistent TA support
• Opportunity to build meaningful relationships and see progress daily
• Perfect for teachers wanting to step away from high-pressure mainstream classrooms

If you're ready for a role where relationships matter as much as results, this could be the perfect next step.
