Are you a compassionate and skilled teacher with a passion for supporting young people with additional needs? Simply Education is currently recruiting qualified teachers to work within SEND and SEMH settings across Stockport and Greater Manchester.

We are seeking dedicated professionals to join alternative provisions, Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), and specialist SEND schools that support pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC), ADHD, trauma-related behaviours, and other learning difficulties. Whether you are an experienced teacher or an Early Career Teacher (ECT) with a desire to work in specialist education, we want to hear from you.

About the Role
You will play a key part in supporting learners who are disengaged from mainstream education. Teaching groups are small, and support staff are present to help create a safe, structured and encouraging learning environment. The focus is not only on curriculum delivery, but also on emotional literacy, life skills and pastoral care.

Key Responsibilities
Deliver engaging lessons tailored to students with diverse SEND or SEMH needs
Implement individualised learning plans and differentiate effectively
Create a positive and therapeutic classroom environment with clear boundaries
Support the development of emotional regulation, resilience and social skills
Work collaboratively with SENCOs, support staff, therapists and families
Monitor and report on student progress and wellbeing

What We're Looking For
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent recognised teaching qualification
A strong understanding of SEMH, Autism, ADHD and other SEND profiles
Experience teaching in alternative provisions, SEND schools, PRUs or similar settings (desirable but not essential)
Excellent behaviour management and pastoral care skills
A calm, nurturing and resilient approach
Passion for inclusive education and a genuine commitment to improving life chances for vulnerable young people
Open to ECTs with relevant placements or strong interest in SEND education

Why Work with Simply Education?
A wide range of long-term and permanent roles within specialist SEND and SEMH provisions
Competitive daily rates of pay: 165 - 200, depending on experience
Access to free CPD, including behaviour management, trauma-informed practice, and SEND awareness
Dedicated consultant support from our Manchester team
Opportunities for progression into permanent SEND teaching posts
