We’re working with an incredibly specialist school in the heart of Mole Valley that supports pupils aged 9–16 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, alongside associated learning and communication challenges. This isn’t just another teaching job; this is a setting where nurture truly means something and where your role will be pivotal to the personal and academic progress of every pupil you support. What makes this teaching role different? Small Classes, Big Impact: No more than 6–8 students per group, allowing you to build real relationships and teach with intention. Therapeutic, Trauma-Informed Practice: You’ll be surrounded by a team that truly gets it. Behaviour here is understood, supported, and guided with compassion.
