Simply Education is working in partnership with a well-established specialist Secondary SEMH provision in Crewe to recruit a dedicated and resilient teacher with QTS for a nurture provision.
This role would particularly suit a primary-trained teacher who has experience working within a secondary setting, especially someone confident in delivering a nurture-based, holistic approach to learning.
About the School
The school is a specialist provision supporting secondary-aged pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Many pupils have experienced disrupted education and require additional pastoral support to successfully re-engage with learning.

Staff work collaboratively to ensure consistency, stability and positive relationship-building are at the heart of the provision. The leadership team is supportive and committed to staff wellbeing, recognising the importance of supporting those who support the pupils.
The Role
The successful teacher will deliver engaging, differentiated lessons to pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The teacher will be confident teaching a range of subjects including Health & Social Care, Humanities, Careers Education and other foundation subjects as required.
Working within small classes, the teacher will create a safe, structured and supportive environment that helps pupils re-engage with education and develop emotionally as well as academically.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Experience working as a secondary teacher
A strong understanding of nurture principles and trauma-informed practice
Excellent behaviour management skills
The ability to build positive, consistent relationships
