Tradewind are looking for a dynamic and dedicated teacher to join our team in a specialist SEMH school in Wigan, supporting students who deserve a second chance and a bright future.
About the Role
You will deliver engaging and accessible Science lessons across KS3 and KS4, adapting your approach to meet the diverse needs of the pupils.

* Track and monitor student progress and adapt teaching accordingly.
* Contribute to whole-school initiatives to improve behaviour, engagement, and attainment.

* Strong subject knowledge across Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics
* Experience teaching within SEMH or alternative provisions is highly desirable
* Passion for inclusive education and trauma-informed practice
* Excellent communication and behaviour management skills
We’re especially keen to hear from candidates who have previously held a Head of Department role, or have strong leadership potential. For the right candidate, there may be the opportunity to take on departmental leadership or wider curriculum responsibilities.
Why Join the School
* A committed, compassionate, and experienced staff team
* Small class sizes with strong support structures
* Opportunities for CPD and leadership development
* A culture of kindness, resilience and transformation
* Leadership pathways for experienced teachers ready to take the next step
