English Teacher Specialist SEMH Provision
Location: Tamworth
Salary: GBP32,433 : GBP42,352 (Dependent on experience)
Contract: Full:Time, Permanent (Part:time options available)
Are you an English Teacher who believes that every student deserves a fresh start? Do you thrive in environments where building a relationship is just as important as delivering a lesson?
We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and innovative English Teacher to join a specialised secondary provision in Tamworth. This isnt a chalk and talk environment; this is a school where your creativity and emotional intelligence will help re:engage young people who have faced significant barriers to learning.
The Role
In this position, you will move away from the rigid constraints of mainstream schooling to focus on high:impact, individualised learning. You will lead the English curriculum across KS3, KS4, and KS5, guiding students through Functional Skills and GCSE pathways.
Your focus will be to:
*
Deliver trauma:informed lessons using the PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) model.
*
Adapt your teaching style for students with SEMH needs, ASD, ADHD, and complex histories.
*
Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to meet EHCP outcomes.
*
Foster a classroom environment where students feel safe enough to fail and brave enough to try again.
What We Are Looking For
*
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): You must be a fully qualified teacher with a passion for literacy.
*
SEN Experience: Ideally, you have worked within a specialist provision or have a proven track record of supporting students with challenging behaviours and complex needs.
*
Resilience: You understand that bad days happen and possess the emotional regulation to support students through them.
*
Flexibility: You can pivot a lesson plan on a dime to follow a students interest or manage their emotional state.
Why Apply?
*
Small Class Sizes: Say goodbye to classes of 30; here, you can actually see the impact of your work every single day.
*
Professional Growth: Extensive CPD and opportunities to progress within a supportive national network.
*
Enhanced Benefits: Competitive salary, private pension options, and a robust maternity package.
*
A Supportive Culture: Work in an environment that priorities staff wellbeing and restorative practice over punitive measures.
