The Role

Are you a resilient and compassionate Key Stage 2 Teacher? We are seeking a dedicated educator to join a specialist SEMH School in Blackpool.

This is a unique opportunity to escape the pressures of a 30-child mainstream classroom.

• Classroom Culture: Create a safe, structured environment where pupils feel empowered to overcome barriers to learning.

• Collaborative Support: Work alongside specialised Teaching Assistants and therapy teams to implement individual EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) goals.

• Behaviour Coaching: Utilise de-escalation techniques and emotional coaching to manage complex behaviours effectively.

Requirements

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory for this specialist role.

• KS2 Expertise: A proven track record of teaching within Key Stage 2.

• SEN Experience: Experience in SEMH or SEN settings is highly desirable. You must have robust behaviour management skills and an understanding of trauma-informed practice.

• Commitment: Looking for a long-term career move (Temp-to-Perm).

• Compliance: An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service is essential for an immediate start.

Why Teach in Blackpool?

This school is renowned for its commitment to staff wellbeing. With micro-class sizes, you can focus on the “why” of teaching. The temp-to-perm route offers you a “try before you buy” period to ensure the school is the perfect fit before committing to a permanent contract.
