Qualified SEN Teacher - SEMH, Autism & ADHD
September 2025 | Long-Term to Permanent(Full time- Term Time)
Outer London MPS, PAYE only
Twickenham
If you’re a qualified teacher who’s thinking, I want to make a bigger difference, this could be the role for you.
We’re helping a growing specialist school in the Richmond borough. It’s part of a respected trust that focuses on therapeutic education and relational practice. The school supports secondary-aged pupils with Autism, ADHD, and SEMH, all with EHCPs. The environment is calm, consistent, and supportive, but this role is challenging.
You will need strong teaching skills and a genuine ability to connect with students who may not trust easily. However, the leadership team is excellent, the ethos is strong, and the impact you will have here is both immediate and lasting.
What the role looks like:
- Full-time classroom teacher role, secondary phase
- Teaching a broad, adapted curriculum to small classes
- Supported by skilled TAs and pastoral staff who know the students well
- You will use restorative, trauma-informed approaches daily
- There’s a strong focus on emotional safety, relationships, and belonging
Who this would suit:
- A qualified teacher (QTS or QTLS)
- Primary, Secondary, or SEND trained
- Someone with experience in SEMH, PRU, or specialist settings
- ECTs are welcome, as long as you’re emotionally mature and ready for the learning curve
- A teacher who’s values-driven and calm during challenges
What’s in it for you?
- Part of a progressive trust with a real commitment to inclusion
- Excellent CPD, mentoring, and ongoing training
- Supportive, hands-on leadership who’ve been in your position
- Long-term to permanent role, with a clear path to joining the school’s core staff team
- PAYE daily rate matched to your experience on the Outer London MPS
- QTS or QTLS is essential
- Strong behaviour management based on empathy and consistency
- A genuine interest in supporting young people with complex needs
- Ability to commute to Shepperton for a full-time, Monday to Friday role

Location: Merton, South West London
About the role of SEMH Teacher:
As a SEMH Teacher based in these highly complex settings, you will be responsible for delivering creative and engaging lessons for small groups of 4 to 8 children. Working as a SEMH teacher requires a holistic approach, focusing on the whole child, academic development is only possible when you address the primary need first. You will work with the school's multidisciplinary therapy team, helping students find ways to do the things they need and want to do. These opportunities will suit teachers who have a passion and natural ability to engage hard-to-reach pupils and those with strong classroom presence. You will engage the children and young people within the school in innovative, therapeutic, and meaningful activities, supporting them in learning to help them reach their full potential.
Requirements for SEMH Teacher:
To work as a SEMH Teacher, you will ideally hold QTS or QTLS or have relevant experience as a Teacher. Solid experience working with highly vulnerable children, pupils at risk of exploitation, gang-related issues, challenging behaviours, substance misuse, school avoiders, highly disengaged pupils, and anxiety disorders is beneficial, but we want to hear from ALL teachers. If you are interested in a teaching approach that is holistic and therapeutic but don’t necessarily have this experience yet, please still enquire.
