Summary

English Teacher | Specialist SEMH Provision

Location: Tamworth

Salary: £32,433 - £42,352 (Dependent on experience)

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent (Part-time options available)

Are you an English Teacher who believes that every student deserves a fresh start? Do you thrive in environments where building a relationship is just as important as delivering a lesson?

We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and innovative English Teacher to join a specialised secondary provision in Tamworth. This isn't a "chalk and talk" environment; this is a school where your creativity and emotional intelligence will help re-engage young people who have faced significant barriers to learning.

The Role

In this position, you will move away from the rigid constraints of mainstream schooling to focus on high-impact, individualised learning. You will lead the English curriculum across KS3, KS4, and KS5, guiding students through Functional Skills and GCSE pathways.

Your focus will be to:

  • Deliver trauma-informed lessons using the PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) model.

  • Adapt your teaching style for students with SEMH needs, ASD, ADHD, and complex histories.

  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to meet EHCP outcomes.

  • Foster a classroom environment where students feel safe enough to fail and brave enough to try again.

What We Are Looking For

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): You must be a fully qualified teacher with a passion for literacy.

  • SEN Experience: Ideally, you have worked within a specialist provision or have a proven track record of supporting students with challenging behaviours and complex needs.

  • Resilience: You understand that "bad days" happen and possess the emotional regulation to support students through them.

  • Flexibility: You can pivot a lesson plan on a dime to follow a student's interest or manage their emotional state.

Why Apply?

  • Small Class Sizes: Say goodbye to classes of 30; here, you can actually see the impact of your work every single day.

  • Professional Growth: Extensive CPD and opportunities to progress within a supportive national network.

  • Enhanced Benefits: Competitive salary, private pension options, and a robust maternity package.

  • A Supportive Culture: Work in an environment that priorities staff wellbeing and restorative practice over punitive measures.

How to Apply

If you are ready to make a genuine difference in the lives of vulnerable young people, we want to hear from you. Please call Paul Hirchfield on 01293 527416 or email paul.hirchfield@randstad.co.uk
