About the Role
Post-16 SEMH Teacher
East London
Temp to Perm
Are you a dedicated Post-16 Teacher, ready to join a specialist SEMH school in East London. This school provides vital education and support to students who face significant challenges and cannot access mainstream education. Many of these young people have experienced trauma, toxic stress, and adversity, meaning they require a therapeutic approach to their learning journey.
We work closely with education providers that support some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach young people in our communities. Before academic progress can be made, their SEMH needs must be met with understanding, patience, and care. We are searching for teachers who can make a lasting, positive impact on these students’ lives.
About the Role:
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to deliver a therapeutic teaching approach that prioritises emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies, helping students feel safe and supported in their learning. As a positive role model, you’ll foster communication with a sensitive, nurturing, and consistent approach, using de-escalation techniques to promote positive behaviour management. You'll be working closely with students who have SEMH needs, trauma backgrounds, sensory processing challenges, and social communication difficulties, ensuring that their individual needs are met. Some experience in online teaching would be beneficial, but most importantly, your ability to build strong, meaningful relationships with vulnerable students will be key to their success. If you have experience working with disengaged teenagers and a passion for making a real difference, this could be the perfect role for you.
