About the Role

Primary Trained Teacher - Nurture Teacher – SEMH Provision
Richmond, South West London
£186 - £248 PAYE per day
September 2025 Start | Long Term to Permanent
KS3 and KS4 Students Taught at Primary Level

Are you a passionate primary teacher looking to make a real difference in the lives of young people?

We’re working with a small, nurturing SEMH provision in Richmond, South West London, that is expanding due to increasing demand. This setting supports students in KS3 and KS4 with a primary teaching model and is the ideal opportunity for a mainstream primary teacher ready for a more rewarding and purposeful classroom experience.

This is not just a job—it’s a chance to help transform the lives of students with Autism, ADHD, and SEMH who have faced barriers in previous educational settings.

About the Role:

  • Teaching KS3 and KS4 students following a primary teaching approach
  • Small class sizes with a strong emphasis on relationship-building and consistent routines
  • Nurture-based teaching, therapeutic support, and a no-exclusion ethos
  • Delivering a broad and balanced curriculum, adapted to the needs of each student
  • Supported by a fantastic in-house team including Art Therapists, SaLTs, and Occupational Therapists
  • Opportunities to be part of a growing provision with future internal progression available

Why Primary Teachers Should Apply:

  • A chance to move away from the pressures of large mainstream classes
  • Teaching children at their developmental stage, not just their chronological age
  • More time to focus on holistic progress and social-emotional development
  • Incredibly rewarding work – you’ll see the direct impact of your nurture and creativity
  • Excellent internal training and specialist support, especially for those new to SEND

Who This Role is Perfect For:

  • Qualified Teachers (QTS) with KS1 or KS2 experience
  • Primary-trained ECTs looking for a unique SEND route
  • Experienced mainstream teachers seeking a more meaningful and values-led environment
  • Unqualified teachers or instructors with relevant SEMH/SEND teaching experience

Requirements:

  • QTS is highly desirable, but not essential with the right experience
  • Genuine passion and commitment to working with vulnerable learners
  • A strong understanding of trauma-informed practice and nurturing approaches
  • Ability to differentiate effectively and manage complex behaviour positively
  • A team player with strong communication and emotional intelligence

Why You’ll Love Working with This School:

  • Clear ethos focused on inclusion, compassion and connection
  • No exclusion policy – this team never gives up on their students
  • Robust internal training and peer support structure
  • Opportunities to grow with the school as it expands
  • Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella deductions, ever
