SEMH Teacher

• Strong understanding of SEMH and MLD needs and experience supporting pupils who may display emotional or behavioural challenges, with the ability to implement effective regulation strategies and deliver personalised, therapeutic support approaches.
• Background in working within a specialist school, PRU, or inclusive mainstream setting, supporting pupils with behavioural, social and emotional needs.
• Familiarity with strategies for managing behaviour and supporting children with emotional and behavioural challenges.
• Confidence in planning and delivering differentiated lessons tailored to individual needs and learning outcomes.
• Enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
• Up‑to‑date knowledge of safeguarding practice

Welcome Bonus

As a thank you for joining Flourish Education, the successful student teacher will receive a £250 welcome bonus, automatically paid after completing 30 consecutive working days in your placement. The bonus applies to this full‑time role only and terms and conditions apply.
