About the School
We are delighted to be supporting a forward‑thinking SEMH specialist school for pupils aged 8 -16, offering a nurturing, highly individualised learning environment where every child is supported both academically and emotionally. The school delivers an ambitious and well‑planned curriculum, with a strong emphasis on re‑engaging learners, providing personalised pathways, and embedding therapeutic, trauma‑informed practice throughout the school day.
The setting follows a mainstream-style curriculum adapted for SEMH and ASD needs, enabling students to rediscover the joy of learning while developing confidence, resilience, and key life skills.

In this role, you will:
Deliver engaging, accessible IT/ICT lessons at KS2-KS4, tailored to individual needs.
Plan and deliver creative, differentiated lessons that empower students to build confidence with digital skills.
Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team including pastoral, therapy, and behavioural support staff.
Contribute to a calm, consistent environment built on positive relationships and structure.
Support young people with SEMH needs through clear routines, personalised communication, and restorative approaches.
This role is ideal for a teacher confident in adapting content, using innovative digital tools, and applying relationship‑based, trauma‑informed practice-reflective of the school's SEMH ethos.
About You
We would love to hear from you if you are:
A qualified IT/ICT/Computer Science Teacher (QTS or QTLS).
Experienced or confident working with SEMH, ASD, or complex needs.
Skilled in delivering a curriculum that blends structure with creativity.
A reflective practitioner with resilience, warmth, and a growth mindset.
Passionate about helping pupils rebuild their trust in education.
Experience in SEMH settings is preferred but not essential - the school welcomes teachers who bring positivity, consistency, and adaptability.

Providing individualised support for all learners with SEMH needs.
Cultivating an environment of motivation, engagement, and therapeutic understanding.
