Nurture Teacher needed for an SEMH School. TLTP are looking for a qualified and passionate Nurture Teacher to work full-time at an SEMH School. The ideal candidate will have experience working with secondary pupils across KS3, KS4 and KS5, particularly students with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. The setting is a specialist provision based in West Drayton, supporting pupils who are unable to attend mainstream school due to behavioural challenges and additional emotional needs. This provision offers a safe, structured, and supportive environment where students can continue their education and work towards achieving their qualifications.
