A chance to teach English in a way that truly changes lives

Do you believe every child deserves someone who won’t give up on them?

We are looking for an English Teacher who is ready to bring patience, creativity, and compassion to pupils who need it most.

This isn’t a mainstream teaching role. It’s about giving children with Autism (ASC) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH) the chance to feel safe, heard, and capable of success.

About the school

This is a small, therapeutic school for children aged 9–16 who cannot thrive in mainstream. Here, relationships come first.
Small classes of no more than 8 pupils, with two fantastic Teaching Assistants in each
A calm, nurturing setting with Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Behaviour Support on hand
A creative, personalised curriculum that celebrates progress as much as outcomes
A leadership team that listens, supports, and invests in staff wellbeing and professional growth

What you’ll be doing day to day

Teaching English Language & Literature up to GCSE, with plenty of freedom to adapt lessons to your pupils’ needs
Finding creative ways to make reading and writing exciting and meaningful for learners who may have lost confidence
Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and behaviour, always with a trauma-informed, patient approach
Working as part of a close-knit team where teachers, TAs, and therapists all pull together for the same goal
Building the kind of relationships where pupils feel safe to take risks, try again, and believe in themselves

Why you’ll love working here

The school is growing, and there will be real opportunities for progression and leadership.
You’ll get access to excellent CPD and training, including behaviour, SEN, and therapeutic approaches.
If you don’t yet hold QTS/QTLS, there are routes into formal teacher training.
You’ll be part of a school where staff feel valued, supported, and proud of the work they do every day.
Best of all, you’ll have the chance to teach in a way that really matters, without the same pressures of mainstream.

About you

A Qualified Teacher (QTS / QTLS) or an unqualified teacher with at least 2 years’ teaching experience
Confident in teaching English up to GCSE and able to adapt to a range of abilities
Patient, resilient, and passionate about inclusive practice
Skilled at building trust with young people who may find school difficult
Experience with Autism, ADHD, or SEMH (personal or professional) would be a bonus, but not essential

Apply today

If you are the kind of English Teacher who teaches with heart, sees potential where others might not, and wants to be part of a truly supportive community, we’d love to hear from you.

Interviews are happening now. Apply today or contact Heeji Moon at Parker Smith Inclusion.
