SEMH Teacher - Permanent – September Start Hillingdon, West London / Middlesex Salary: £36,413 - £48,532, in line with MPS Outer London We are proud to be supporting an SEMH School based in the Hillingdon area that has a trauma-informed approach to education, creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where students from diverse and complex backgrounds can flourish. This school celebrates cultural diversity and values the unique experiences each student brings. Through personalised learning and therapeutic support, they empower young people to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their full potential. If you are committed to making a lasting impact and want to be part of a forward-thinking team that prioritises wellbeing, empathy, and growth, we’d love to hear from you The school are seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEMH Teacher to join their dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity to inspire and empower students who face significant barriers to learning, helping them to develop confidence, resilience, and a love for learning.

You'll create a space where children feel safe, understood, and ready to engage in learning — often for the first time in years. This isn't about following a rigid curriculum.

Other days, it’s celebrating a small but significant breakthrough—a child staying in class for the full session, taking part in group activities, or expressing how they feel. Responsibilities of this role Planning and Delivery: Create and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to meet the individual needs of students with SEMH and associated learning difficulties. Trauma-Informed Practice: Use trauma-aware strategies to promote emotional regulation and build trusting relationships. Pastoral Support: Foster a nurturing and inclusive classroom environment, supporting students’ emotional and social development. Collaboration: Work closely with other staff members to implement personalised learning plans and behaviour support strategies. Assessment and Progress: Monitor and assess student progress, providing regular feedback and adapting teaching strategies accordingly. Safeguarding: Uphold the school’s safeguarding policies, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all students. Who They’re Looking For Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent. Experience teaching students with SEMH needs, SEND, or behavioural challenges. A strong understanding of trauma-informed practice and the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Excellent communication and relationship-building skills. A flexible and creative approach to teaching and learning. A commitment to fostering inclusivity, diversity, and equality in the classroom If you’re looking for a teaching role where you can genuinely change lives, this could be it.
