The class sizes are very small and focus on the individual needs of students who have often experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences.

We support Education providers that educate children and young people who for many reasons cannot access any other formal educational settings – these are the most vulnerable, at risk and hard to reach in our community.

• Ability to build strong and meaningful relationships with vulnerable students
• Experience of working with disengaged teenagers is essential.

What you can expect from this role

• To teach in a setting with a likeminded team who are equally as dedicated to the learning and personal development of young people
• Excellent facilities in a brand new fit for purpose school building
• Experience working in specialist therapeutic settings.
• Working with Multidisciplinary therapy teams 
• Extensive specialist training from SEMH Specialists

Primary Teacher Requirements

• Although this particular role requires QTS/QTLS we want to hear from all Teachers no matter what your qualification is!
• The passion to teach and inspire young people during a crucial stage of their personal and academic development.
