SEMH Teacher – Middlesbrough

📍 Location: Middlesbrough
💰 Salary: Weekly PAYE pay (rate based on experience)
🗓️ Start Date: Immediate / September 2025 or flexible for the right person

Some pupils need more than just a teacher—they need someone steady, patient, and totally unflappable.

We’re working with a specialist setting in Middlesbrough that supports pupils with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. They’re on the lookout for a dedicated classroom teacher who can create a safe, consistent space for learners who’ve often faced more than their fair share of challenges.

If you’re calm in a crisis and believe every child deserves someone who won’t give up on them—this could be the role for you.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Teaching small classes of pupils with SEMH needs

  • Creating routines that help pupils feel safe and ready to learn

  • Building strong relationships based on trust, respect, and consistency

  • Planning flexible, engaging lessons with a trauma-informed lens

  • Working closely with TAs, support staff, and external agencies

What you’ll need:

  • QTS or equivalent teaching qualification

  • Experience in SEMH or PRU settings (or mainstream with high-need pupils)

  • A positive, empathetic approach to behaviour management

  • Confidence in adapting lessons to suit a range of learning styles

  • A thick skin, a big heart, and a genuine drive to make a difference

What you’ll get from us:

  • Weekly PAYE pay (no umbrella headaches)

  • Free Thrive training if you don’t have it already

  • Access to our online CPD Academy

  • Full support from a local consultant who gets specialist settings

  • Fast-track registration and flexible start dates
