This is not your typical teaching role! If you're passionate about nurture-based learning, therapeutic education, and working with students who need a different kind of classroom, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

A growing, specialist SEMH school in Richmond, which opened last year, is expanding and looking for a dedicated Nurture Teacher to join their team. You'll be teaching KS3 and KS4 students using a primary model, helping them build confidence, develop emotional regulation, and rediscover a love for learning.

Why You'll Love This Role

• A unique chance to shape an expanding school - Be part of an innovative and evolving setting
• Small class sizes - More time to focus on each student's needs and see real progress
• A creative curriculum - No rigid schemes! Adapt learning to engage and inspire students
• Work with therapists & SEN specialists - A fully collaborative, therapeutic approach
• Ongoing training in SEMH & nurture-based teaching - Perfect for professional growth
• Make a real difference - Watch your students thrive, develop resilience, and gain new skills

Your Role:

• Delivering engaging, hands-on learning to students with Autism, ADHD, and SEMH needs
• Using a nurture-based approach to build confidence and self-esteem in learners
• Encouraging emotional regulation and social development through tailored strategies
• Working closely with therapists, pastoral staff, and families to provide holistic support
• Creating a safe, structured, and uplifting learning environment where students feel valued

What We're Looking For:

• A qualified teacher (QTS/QTLS) who is passionate about nurture and therapeutic education
• A creative, resilient, and empathetic approach to teaching
• Experience teaching a primary-style model (even if to older students) is a bonus!
• A strong understanding of Autism, ADHD, and SEMH strategies
• A commitment to building trusting relationships and inspiring students to succeed

This is your chance to be part of something truly special! If you're looking for a teaching role where you can see real impact every single day, we'd love to hear from you.
