Are you a passionate and resilient teacher looking to make a real difference in the lives of children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs?

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Year 3/4 Class Teacher to join our supportive team from September 2026 on a full-time basis. This is a rewarding opportunity to work within a specialist setting, helping pupils overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential.

About the Role

You will lead a small Year 3/4 class of pupils with SEMH needs, delivering engaging and differentiated lessons that meet individual learning requirements. You will create a nurturing, structured classroom environment where pupils feel safe, valued and motivated to succeed.

Working closely with teaching assistants, therapists, families and the wider school team, you will play a key role in supporting both the academic progress and emotional wellbeing of pupils.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and deliver high-quality lessons in line with the National Curriculum.
  • Develop positive relationships that support pupils' emotional regulation and engagement in learning.
  • Implement behaviour support strategies and personalised learning plans.
  • Monitor, assess and report on pupil progress.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues, parents/carers and external professionals.
  • Promote a safe, inclusive and nurturing learning environment.

The Successful Candidate Will Have

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
  • Experience teaching within Key Stage 2.
  • A strong understanding of SEMH needs and trauma-informed practice, or a willingness to develop expertise in this area.
  • Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills.
  • The ability to build trust and positive relationships with pupils who may have experienced significant challenges.
  • Resilience, patience and a positive, solution-focused approach.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
