Humanities Teacher - Therapeutic SEMH School Oakham, Rutland
Start: ASAP
Full-time, ongoing
Temp to perm Are you a passionate Humanities Teacher looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference to young people who have struggled to engage with education? SEND Inclusion Support is working with one of our fantastic partner schools in Oakham to recruit a
Humanities Teacher
to join their specialist, therapeutic setting for young people with
SEMH needs . The existing teacher will be leaving shortly, so the school is looking for someone who can
start as soon as possible
and provide continuity for pupils. Importantly, there is also a
permanent position available following the initial appointment , making this a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a permanent role. About the role
You will teach Humanities within a therapeutic environment where relationships are at the heart of education. You will be expected to: Plan and deliver engaging Humanities lessons
Adapt learning to meet a range of SEMH and educational needs
Build positive and trusting relationships with pupils
Support pupils who may have experienced significant barriers to education
Create a calm, structured and predictable learning environment
Encourage engagement, confidence and a sense of achievement
Work closely with support staff and the wider therapeutic team
Adapt your teaching approach around individual pupils
Maintain high expectations while recognising individual starting points
We're looking for someone who:
Has QTS or a recognised teaching qualification
Has experience teaching Humanities
Has a strong understanding of SEMH
Is patient, calm and consistent
Can build meaningful relationships with young people
Is confident adapting lessons and expectations
Understands that behaviour is often a form of communication
Wants to make a genuine difference rather than simply deliver a curriculum
Experience within an SEMH, specialist or alternative provision setting would be highly desirable, although experienced mainstream teachers with a strong interest in SEND and SEMH are encouraged to apply. Why this school?
This is a
therapeutic school , not a traditional classroom environment. The staff team take a relationship-led approach and understand that pupils need to feel safe, understood and valued before they can fully engage with learning. You'll be joining a supportive team where your teaching can have a real impact - and with a
permanent position potentially available , there is the opportunity to build something long term. Apply now for an ASAP start.
