Are you an experienced educator with a passion for supporting children with
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs?
TeacherActive is proud to be working with a
specialist Primary SEMH school in
Suffolk that is looking to recruit a dedicated and resilient
Primary Teacher to join their team from
September 2026.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a setting where
small class sizes, strong relationships and personalised learning are at the heart of everything they do. You will play a vital role in helping pupils overcome barriers to education, develop confidence and self-esteem, and achieve both academically and emotionally.
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is not essential for this role. However, applicants
must have significant experience working with primary-aged children with SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour, and be confident leading lessons and managing a classroom independently.
The Role:
As a Primary SEMH Teacher, you will:
- Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons for primary-aged pupils.
- Support children with SEMH needs to re-engage with learning and achieve their individual goals.
- Build positive, trusting relationships that promote confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.
- Use restorative and trauma-informed approaches to manage behaviour positively.
- Adapt lessons to meet a wide range of learning needs and abilities.
- Work closely with Teaching Assistants, therapists and pastoral staff to provide the best outcomes for every pupil.
- Assess, monitor and celebrate pupil progress both academically and personally.
- Create a safe, structured and nurturing classroom where every child can thrive.
- Experience leading lessons or teaching classes independently.
- Excellent behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
- A calm, resilient and empathetic approach.
- A genuine passion for supporting vulnerable children to achieve their full potential.
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
- Competitive rates of pay.
- A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement.
- Access to free CPD and professional development opportunities.
- Flexible payment options.
- The opportunity to secure a long-term or permanent role within a rewarding specialist setting.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
Extensive experience working with primary-aged pupils with
SEMH, SEND or challenging behaviour.
QTS is desirable but not essential.
In Return, TeacherActive Offers:
If you're an experienced educator looking to make a real difference within a
Primary SEMH school, we'd love to hear from you.
