Our specialist provision in Shrewsbury supports pupils aged 5-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, providing a nurturing, structured and inclusive environment where every child has the opportunity to succeed.
The provision offers personalised education for pupils with a range of needs, including SEMH difficulties, trauma, attachment difficulties and challenging behaviour. Many pupils have previously struggled to engage with education or have experienced negative or disrupted educational experiences.
Through a tailored and engaging curriculum, pupils are supported to develop confidence, resilience, independence and a positive attitude towards learning. Positive relationships are at the heart of the provision, with a holistic approach that recognises the individual needs, strengths and experiences of every child.
The Role
As a Primary SEMH Teacher, you will play a key role in supporting pupils who experience social, emotional and behavioural barriers to learning. This is a rewarding opportunity for a nurturing, resilient and committed teacher who is passionate about helping children rebuild confidence, develop positive relationships with education and achieve their potential.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Building strong, trusting and nurturing relationships with pupils, many of whom may have experienced trauma or difficulties within mainstream education.
- Planning and delivering engaging, creative and differentiated lessons that meet individual learning needs and support academic progress.
- Creating a calm, structured and predictable classroom environment where pupils feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
- Using positive behaviour strategies and de-escalation approaches to support pupils and promote positive behaviour.
- Adapting teaching to reflect pupils' individual strengths, needs, interests and emotional wellbeing.
- Supporting pupils to develop confidence, independence, resilience and social and emotional skills.
- Working closely with teaching assistants, parents, carers, Local Authorities and external professionals to provide consistent, personalised support.
- Recognising and celebrating individual achievements and progress.
- Contributing to enrichment activities and PSHE to support pupils' wider development.
- Maintaining high expectations while responding sensitively to individual barriers to learning.
About You
We are looking for a teacher who is passionate about making a genuine difference to children and young people and understands the importance of positive relationships in successful learning.
You will ideally have:
- QTS or an equivalent teaching qualification.
- Experience working with pupils with SEMH, SEND or within a specialist setting.
- A calm, patient, nurturing and resilient approach.
- An understanding of how trauma and attachment difficulties can affect behaviour and learning.
- The ability to establish positive relationships while maintaining clear and consistent boundaries.
