Teacher - ready to make a real difference?
Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting for an enthusiastic and committed Teacher to join a supportive specialist education setting in Leiston, Suffolk, working with secondary-aged pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
We are keen to hear from teachers with a mainstream or SEN background who are looking for a rewarding opportunity to use their teaching skills in a specialist environment. You don't necessarily need to have worked in an SEMH setting previously. The school is looking for a teacher who is patient, resilient, adaptable and passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to learning.
The Role
- Plan and deliver engaging lessons suited to pupils' individual needs
- Teach across the curriculum according to your experience and subject strengths
- Support secondary-aged pupils with SEMH and behavioural needs
- Adapt teaching and learning approaches to help pupils engage and make progress
- Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils
- Create a calm, structured and supportive classroom environment
- Work closely with Teaching Assistants, HLTAs and the wider support team
- Monitor pupil progress and contribute to their wider educational and personal development
Who Are We Looking For?
- QTS or recognised teaching status
- Experience teaching in a mainstream or SEN setting
- A genuine passion for supporting young people to achieve their potential
- A calm, consistent and positive approach to behaviour management
- The ability to adapt teaching to meet individual needs
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Resilience and the ability to remain calm in challenging situations
- Experience of SEMH, SEND, alternative provision or challenging behaviour would be advantageous, but is not essential for the right teacher
