Job Description
Are you a passionate Primary Teacher (QTS) dedicated to Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH)? Do you excel at guiding young learners (aged 4-11) who face complex Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges and require additional support to unlock their full potential?
Randstad Education is partnering with specialist PRUs and SEMH schools across the Bolton to recruit an inspiring and resilient educator for a long-term, full-time, term-time only position starting September 2025, with potential for a permanent role.
Why This Role?
* Make a Significant Difference: Be a pivotal figure in shaping young lives, helping pupils re-engage with education, master behaviour, and build vital life skills.
* Competitive Pay & Support: Enjoy very competitive rates of pay with full AWR compliance and no hidden deductions. Benefit from the guidance of a dedicated, honest, and trustworthy consultant.
* Professional Growth: Access free accredited career and professional development training to enhance your expertise in SEN and SEMH.
* Work-Life Balance: This is a full-time, term-time only role, providing excellent work-life flexibility.
Role Expectations:
* Design and deliver meticulously tailored lessons and interventions, strictly following each pupil's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and individual behaviour management plans to address complex social, emotional, and mental health needs.
* Proactively teach and coach pupils in emotional regulation techniques and positive coping mechanisms. Expertly respond to and de-escalate challenging behaviours to ensure a calm and safe learning environment.
* Re-ignite pupils curiosity and passion for learning through highly creative, flexible, and engaging teaching approaches that consider past educational disruption and diverse learning styles.
* Work seamlessly within a multidisciplinary team (e.g., therapists, social workers, support staff) and families to deliver comprehensive pastoral care and develop crucial life skills alongside academic progress.
* Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and child protection given the inherent vulnerability of pupils in PRUs and SEMH settings. Act as a positive role model and advocate for student potential.
What You'll Bring:
* A deep understanding that challenging behaviours are often a form of communication, coupled with limitless patience and the ability to remain calm and child-focused.
* Expert in proactive management, trigger recognition, plan implementation, and advanced de-escalation skills.
* Essential UK Qualified Teacher Status.
* Comprehensive understanding of the Primary Curriculum.
* Minimum 3 months recent teaching experience in a UK school (referenced).
