TeacherActive is working closely with a supportive school to recruit a qualified SEND Teacher (QTS) to work within an Inclusion Hub, supporting pupils with SEMH needs. The majority of pupils are working within KS1 (Years 1–4) and are operating significantly below age-related expectations.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate, resilient, and nurturing teacher who is confident in supporting pupils with additional needs and understands the importance of consistency, relationships, and structure.

  • Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging lessons tailored to pupils with SEMH needs


  • Support children working significantly below expected levels through targeted interventions


  • Use your strong curriculum knowledge to adapt learning effectively


  • Work with pupils who may have experienced trauma, using appropriate strategies to support regulation and engagement


  • Confidently apply de-escalation strategies, recognising triggers and early warning signs


  • Lead, support, and direct Teaching Assistants to ensure consistent practice across the provision


  • Create a safe, structured, and positive learning environment that promotes progress and wellbeing


    The Ideal Candidate

    We are looking for a teacher who:

    • Holds QTS


    • Has proven experience working as a SEND / SEMH Teacher


    • Is confident planning for pupils with complex needs and learning gaps


    • Has experience delivering interventions and personalised learning programmes


    • Demonstrates strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills


    • Understands trauma-informed practice


    • Is confident supporting and leading Teaching Assistants


    • Is patient, adaptable, and passionate about inclusive education

      Working with TeacherActive means:

      • Endless opportunities across a wide range of schools


      • If this role isn’t the right long-term fit, we actively match you with other roles that suit your skillset


      • A people-first agency that genuinely understands SEND education


        If you are a committed SEND Teacher looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real impact, we would love to hear from you.

        All applicants will be contacted to discuss suitability and then invited to register with TeacherActive.
