Primary Teacher (SEMH)

Are you a passionate Primary Teacher looking for a truly rewarding role? This exciting contract position in Shifnal allows you to use your nurturing approach and Primary teaching expertise to transform the lives of secondary-aged students with complex Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. If you want to focus on relationships, individual progress, and holistic development in a specialist supportive setting, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

 

What's in it for you?

  • Join a therapeutic, specialist learning environment where building trusting relationships is at the core of what you do.
  • Work as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team fully committed to improving outcomes for young people facing significant challenges.
  • Your input will make a genuine difference—both academically and emotionally—for every student you teach.

 

The Role

This is not a traditional secondary teaching role. The school is specifically seeking a Primary-trained teacher due to the nurturing, holistic, and therapeutic approach required. You will be delivering a broad, differentiated curriculum to small groups of secondary-aged students, all working at various academic levels.

 

Responsibilities

  • Plan and deliver engaging lessons that meet the emotional, behavioural and academic needs of each student.
  • Create a calm, structured and supportive learning environment by using restorative and therapeutic approaches.
  • Respond effectively to students’ social, emotional, and mental health needs, adapting where necessary.
  • Collaborate with colleagues and external professionals, implementing behaviour support plans and promoting positive student outcomes.

 

Skills and Experience

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with a Primary teaching qualification is essential.
  • Experience working with children or young people with SEMH, SEND, in alternative provision or nurture settings is highly desirable.
  • Excellent behaviour management skills and strong emotional resilience.
  • Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with students to support their progress both in and out of the classroom.

 

Location and Package

  • Location: Shifnal
  • Contract: From 01 September 2026
  • Salary: £160 - £200 per day

 

If you are ready to make a real difference and bring your Primary teaching expertise to a specialist SEMH environment, this role is for you. Dedicated and adaptable teachers who are driven by a sense of purpose and impact are encouraged to apply.
