About the Role

We are seeking a resilient, passionate, and adaptable SEMH Maths Teacher who genuinely understands young people and can connect with them beyond the curriculum. This role involves teaching Maths across KS2-KS4 to students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

You will be someone who can quickly learn the context of the setting, adapt your teaching style, and consistently deliver good to outstanding lessons. The ability to work independently, use initiative, and respond calmly and creatively to challenges is essential.

This is not a class-based role. You will deliver 3-4 Maths lessons to each class, allowing you to focus on high-quality teaching, relationship-building, and real progress rather than form responsibilities.

Can teach Maths confidently across KS2-KS4
Delivers engaging, well-structured lessons that meet SEMH needs
Works effectively without constant direction and uses initiative
Builds strong, trusting relationships with students
Understands behaviour as communication and responds with consistency and empathy
Above all, gets our students and knows how to reach them

What We're Looking For:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with experience teaching SEMH or in specialist settings
Strong understanding of SEMH, SEND, and positive behaviour strategies
Ability to build strong, positive relationships with pupils, staff, and families
Highly organised, adaptable, and proactive approach to teaching and pastoral care
Passion for helping pupils overcome barriers and achieve their full potential

To Be Eligible You Must:

Hold the Right to Work in the UK
Have an enhanced child barred list DBS certificate registered with the online update service (or be willing to apply)
Be able to provide two professional child-related references

Please submit your up-to-date CV to be considered. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
