Primary Teacher – SEMH Setting (Permanent | Paid to Scale)
Brighton
Make a real difference. Teach with purpose. Smaller classes, bigger impact.

Are you a passionate Primary Teacher looking for something more rewarding than the mainstream classroom?

We are recruiting for a Primary Teacher to join a specialist SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) school, working with children who need additional support to thrive both emotionally and academically.

This is a unique opportunity to teach in small, nurturing classes, where you can truly focus on each child, build meaningful relationships, and see the impact you make every single day.


About the Role

  • Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons to small class groups

  • Support pupils with SEMH needs through a therapeutic, relationship-based approach

  • Focus on both academic progress and emotional development

  • Work closely with support staff and the wider multidisciplinary team

  • Create a safe, structured and nurturing classroom environment

  • Play a key role in helping pupils re-engage with education


Who We’re Looking For

  • Qualified Primary Teacher (QTS or equivalent) may consider unqualified with lots of experience in SEMH

  • Strong, resilient and adaptable

  • Passionate about supporting children with additional needs

  • Confident in behaviour management with a calm, consistent approach

  • Able to build positive, trusting relationships with pupils

  • A team player with a proactive and flexible attitude


Experience

  • Previous SEMH or SEND experience is highly desirable

  • However, we will also consider mainstream Primary Teachers who have a genuine interest in transitioning into an SEMH setting


Why This Role?

  • Permanent position – paid to scale

  • Smaller class sizes = more impact and better relationships

  • A supportive, therapeutic environment

  • Opportunity to develop new skills and specialise in SEMH

  • Real job satisfaction – make a lasting difference in children’s lives


If you’re a teacher who wants to go beyond the curriculum and truly support the whole child, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

Don’t delay – apply today and start making a difference.
