About the Role

SEMH Teacher – KS3/KS4

Location: Richmond, South West London | Start: September 2025 | Full-Time | Long-Term to Permanent

PAYE daily rate in line with MPS Outer London (£186.73 - £248.88)

Are you a passionate educator looking for a rewarding role where relationships, not routines, come first?

We are working in partnership with a forward-thinking specialist school in Richmond, South West London, that is expanding its nurture provision this September. This is a unique opportunity for a resilient and compassionate SEMH Teacher to transform the lives of students who need it most.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a smaller, therapeutic environment where connection and consistency drive progress.

What’s the Opportunity?

  • Teach KS3 and KS4 learners working at a KS2 level, following the National Curriculum in a way that meets their emotional and learning needs
  • Work in a nurture-based class of just 8 students, with the support of 1–2 Teaching Assistants
  • Join a school that operates with a trauma-informed and therapeutic approach, where every staff member is trained to support emotional regulation and positive behaviour
  • Be part of a team that prioritises trust, patience, and flexibility – the key to unlocking student success

Why This School?

  • The school is part of a well-established and respected trust that champions inclusive education and trauma-informed practice
  • You’ll be joining a provision that is expanding, with exciting opportunities to contribute to its growth and direction
  • Led by a passionate leadership team that puts staff wellbeing and professional development at the heart of their vision
  • A real chance to make a measurable impact – this is not just another teaching job

Who is this Role For?

  • Qualified teachers with SEMH experience
  • Primary-trained teachers who are confident teaching KS3/KS4 pupils working at lower key stages
  • Professionals with a deep understanding of SEMH, Autism, and ADHD, and the adaptability to meet complex needs

Salary & Pay

  • Outer London MPS
  • Equivalent PAYE daily rate: £186.73 - £248.88 per day (no umbrella deductions)
