About the Role

Imagine being part of something brand new — a school that’s growing, a community that’s thriving, and a journey that’s just beginning.

At Parker Smith Inclusion, we’re excited to be supporting a brilliant SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) school that’s preparing for a huge moment: a brand-new, purpose-built site, opening September 2026. But before the doors open, the journey begins — and they’re looking for the right people to grow with them.

Starting September 2025, we’re looking for a Science and Maths Teacher who’s ready to do things differently.
You'll be working with small groups of just eight students, in an environment where relationships come first, success is personal, and every day you’ll be making a difference you can truly see.

This is more than a teaching role — it's a real opportunity to shape what education can look like for SEMH learners. With the school expanding and the trust continuing to grow, your career can grow too. Whether you dream of becoming a Head of Department, leading on Pastoral Care, or taking on a whole-school leadership role, the path is here — and you’ll be fully supported every step of the way.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has direct experience teaching Science or Maths (ideally confident to teach both at KS3).

  • Brings creativity, resilience, and a heart for working with SEMH students.

  • Wants to be part of a supportive, collaborative trust and SLT team that shares ideas, wins, and challenges together.

  • Is excited to bring their skills into a school that's rethinking what SEMH education can be.

In return, you’ll get:

  • A salary ranging from MPS1 to UPS3 (depending on experience).

  • A genuinely supportive senior leadership team and trust network.

  • Huge opportunities for professional development and career progression.

  • The chance to help shape the culture of a brand-new school site from the very beginning.

Start Date: September 2025
Location: Harlow
Salary: MPS1 – UPS3

If you’re ready to be part of something special — something built on heart, ambition, and real change — we’d love to hear from you.
