SEND/SEMH Expertise: Implement expert, restorative, and trauma-informed strategies to manage behaviour, support emotional regulation, and promote positive engagement in an online setting.
Casework: Work closely with students, parents/carers, and external agencies to ensure Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are met and transition goals are achieved.
What You'll Bring (Essential Criteria)
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is mandatory.
Proven experience teaching at a Secondary level (Key Stage 3 & 4) in any subject specialism.
Substantial, demonstrable experience working successfully with students with SEMH and/or complex SEND needs (e.g., in an Alternative Provision, PRU, or specialist setting).
Exceptional digital literacy and confidence in utilising virtual learning platforms and technology to deliver creative, interactive, and inclusive lessons.
A resilient, compassionate, and solution-focused approach, with the ability to lead a new initiative from the ground up.
Why Join Us?
Impact: Take ownership of a crucial new provision and make a tangible, life-changing difference to the most vulnerable learners in the area.
Professional Development: Excellent CPD opportunities focused on virtual pedagogy, SEMH, and leadership.
