We are looking for a passionate, creative and nurturing Teacher to join our specialist school in St Helens. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher who wants to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The role is offered on a temp-to-perm basis, providing an opportunity for the successful candidate to join the school initially on a temporary basis, with the potential to move into a permanent position.
We are particularly interested in teachers with experience or a passion for one or more of the following subject areas:
- English - teaching up to GCSE level
- Art - encouraging creativity, expression and confidence
- PSHE - supporting personal development, wellbeing and life skills
We recognise that great teachers bring a range of skills, so we are happy to consider applicants with different subject specialisms and offer some flexibility around the areas of focus.
What makes our school special?
- Small class sizes, allowing you to build meaningful relationships and deliver personalised learning.
- A nurturing, supportive environment with a strong SEMH focus.
- The opportunity to be creative and adapt learning to meet individual needs.
- A rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day.
- Extended school holidays, supporting a positive work-life balance.

Who are we looking for?

- Can create engaging, inclusive and inspiring learning experiences.
- Build positive relationships and understand the importance of consistency, patience and empathy.
- Are flexible, adaptable and willing to think outside the box.
- Have the ability to motivate young people and help them recognise their potential.
Experience of working in a specialist SEMH setting would be advantageous, but above all, we are looking for someone with the right attitude, commitment and passion for making a difference.
