About the Role

PSHE Teacher – Autism & SEMH Specialist School | East Surrey 
Salary: £30,000 – £48,000 (depending on experience)
Full-Time | Permanent | Start: September 2025

Are you passionate about transforming the lives of young people with Autism and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs? Are you ready to make a real impact in a supportive, well-resourced environment? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

We are seeking an inspiring PSHE Teacher to join our dedicated team at a thriving specialist school in East Surrey, supporting secondary-aged pupils working at KS1/KS2 levels. This is a unique opportunity to teach a subject that truly makes a difference, helping young people build confidence, resilience, and essential life skills.

Why Join Us?

  • A Truly Lovely School – A warm, welcoming atmosphere where both staff and students thrive.

  • Exceptional Facilities – Well-equipped classrooms, sensory spaces, and fantastic outdoor learning areas.

  • Supportive Leadership – Work with a committed and compassionate Senior Leadership Team who champion staff wellbeing and development.

  • Tailored Curriculum – Deliver creative, practical PSHE lessons adapted to individual needs and abilities.

  • Positive Culture – Join a collaborative staff team that values empathy, humour, and making learning fun.

About You:

  • Unqualified and Qualified Teachers are welcome to apply

  • Experience or passion for working with students with Autism and/or SEMH needs.

  • Confident in adapting teaching for learners working significantly below age-related expectations.

  • Strong behaviour management and nurturing communication skills.

  • A belief in every child's potential – no matter their starting point.

Whether you’re an experienced SEND teacher or a mainstream teacher looking to move into specialist education, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Small class sizes and excellent staff-to-student ratios
  • Brand-new facilities with high-quality classroom resources
  • On-site therapy teams and a supportive multidisciplinary environment
  • Outdoor learning and a thriving forest school model

Leadership matters. The headteacher here is a calm, inspiring, and visionary leader, working closely with teaching and therapy staff to ensure you have everything you need to thrive. You’ll be joining a school that places wellbeing, career development, and collaboration at the heart of its culture.

Your PSHE and Citizenship curriculum will support academic understanding and foster emotional literacy, self-regulation, personal safety, community responsibility, and lifelong learning. You’ll be encouraged to adapt and tailor your teaching to meet the individual needs of each student, with full support from experienced colleagues.

This school is well-suited to:

  • Teachers with QTS from either mainstream or SEN backgrounds
  • Teachers ready to step away from the pressures of mainstream into a more nurturing and therapeutic approach
  • Individuals passionate about making a difference through PSHE and pastoral education
  • Teachers seeking progression and further SEN training

You will be fully supported from the start, whether you're making a transition from mainstream or already experienced in specialist settings. The school is proud to offer CPD and in-house training as part of your journey.
