Are you ready to make a real difference?

Do you thrive on challenge, value relationships, and believe education can change lives?

If you’re a resilient, adaptable and passionate English teacher looking for work that truly matters, this could be the role for you.

About the Role

This specialist SEMH school supports pupils who need more than a traditional classroom. Teaching here is demanding—but deeply rewarding. Staff work tirelessly to help students rebuild confidence, rediscover learning, and develop the social and emotional skills they need for adulthood.

The school is on an exciting journey towards becoming a registered therapeutic community, and we are looking for teachers who share this restorative, trauma-informed ethos.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Teacher of English, you will:

  • Inspire a love of learning through creative, hands-on lessons

  • Deliver English Language, with knowledge of or willingness to learn AQA GCSE and Functional Skills

  • Adapt teaching to meet individual needs, helping every student achieve their potential

  • Play an active role in pastoral support, building trusted relationships that help students thrive

  • Contribute to a curriculum that values life skills and personal development alongside academic progress

What We’re Looking For

You will be:

  • A qualified English teacher (QTS) with strong subject knowledge

  • Confident, reflective and committed to high-quality teaching

  • Resilient, compassionate and emotionally intelligent

  • Passionate about supporting students with SEND and SEMH needs (experience advantageous but not essential)

Why Join Us?
  • Be part of a supportive and dedicated team

  • Work in a school where relationships come first

  • Make a measurable difference to young people’s lives every day

  • Develop your practice within a therapeutic and trauma-informed environment

If you want a role where your teaching truly matters, and where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.

Together, we rebuild lives through education.
