About the Role

Nurture Teacher – SEMH School – Full-Time

Long-Term to Permanent – September Start

Richmond, South West London

Salary: £160 - £250 PAYE per day, depending on experience and qualifications

Some schools change lives. This one is still in its early chapters, and you could be part of shaping its story.

Opened just last year, this specialist SEMH school in Richmond has already made a huge impact. Designed for children who have struggled in mainstream settings, it provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where they can rebuild confidence and rediscover a love for learning. Now, as the school expands this September, they are looking for a Nurture Teacher to join their growing team.

Why This Role Matters

For many students, school has been a place of frustration, anxiety, or even failure. Your role as a Nurture Teacher will change that. You'll create a space where children feel safe, understood, and ready to engage in learning—often for the first time in years.

This isn't about following a rigid curriculum. It’s about meeting students where they are and guiding them forward at their own pace. Some days, that might mean working through emotions before tackling a maths lesson. Other days, it’s celebrating a small but significant breakthrough—a child staying in class for the full session, taking part in group activities, or expressing how they feel.

What This School Offers You

  • A Purpose-Driven Environment – Every aspect of the school is built around the needs of students with SEMH, from small class sizes to therapeutic support.
  • A Growing, Supportive Team – You won’t be stepping into an established system—you’ll help shape it. The leadership team is committed to giving staff the freedom and support to try new approaches and make a real difference.
  • Career Growth & Development – As the school expands, so will your opportunities. Whether you’re looking to progress into leadership or specialise further, this is the place to grow.

Who They’re Looking For

  • A qualified teacher (QTS/QTLS) with a passion for SEMH education
  • An unqualified teacher with proven experience teaching children with Autism and SEMH
  • Someone who values relationships over rigid teaching methods
  • A teacher who understands that progress comes in many forms, not just academic grades

If you’re looking for a teaching role where you can genuinely change lives, this could be it. Be part of this school’s next chapter as they grow in September.

If this opportunity fits your current circumstances and ambition, please contact us to discuss how we can guide and advise you. Whether it is this specific role or other SEND teaching opportunities, we can help you find the right next step for your career.

Please get in touch if you want to hear more about this or our other SEND teacher opportunities. You can contact us by responding to this advert, uploading your CV to our website, or calling us on 0203 011 4848.

Now is the time to at least be looking at the opportunities your career so far can offer you. September discussions are happening, and we can facilitate conversations with multiple schools. Our approach is very different, as you will see from the voices reviewing and recommending us. If you would like your journey so far to be recognised and respected, Parker Smith Inclusion is the right partner for you and your future.
