About the Candidate

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated PSHE/RSHE Teacher who is committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and complex SEND.

The ideal candidate will hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have experience delivering PSHE within a SEND, specialist, or secondary school setting. You will possess strong subject knowledge across the PSHE curriculum, including emotional wellbeing, relationships, personal development, independence, and essential life skills.

You will be confident in planning and delivering engaging, accessible, and highly structured lessons that meet a diverse range of learning needs. With a thorough understanding of differentiation and EHCP requirements, you will be able to adapt teaching approaches to ensure every learner can achieve success and make meaningful progress.

A calm, consistent, and nurturing practitioner, you will demonstrate excellent behaviour management skills and have the ability to build positive, trusting relationships with pupils who may present with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges. You will be committed to fostering inclusion, promoting independence, and supporting the personal growth and wellbeing of every student.

Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, as you will work collaboratively with colleagues, support staff, parents/carers, and external professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for young people. Most importantly, you will share our belief that every child deserves to be seen, heard, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive.
