Creative / Digital Media Teacher

Creative / Digital Media Teacher - SEMH Setting - Ipswich

Start: September 2026 (or sooner for the right candidate)

A well-established specialist SEMH school in Ipswich is looking to appoint a Creative Media / Digital Media Teacher or Lecturer. This is a fantastic opportunity to deliver a practical, engaging curriculum that supports students who thrive through creativity rather than traditional academic routes.

The school has a strong reputation locally for its structured approach to behaviour, therapeutic support, and focus on re-engagement, with a clear emphasis on preparing students for post-16 pathways and employment.

The Role:

• Deliver Creative / Digital Media lessons (video production, editing, photography, digital content)
• Engage students with SEMH needs through practical, project-based learning
• Support students'' confidence, routine, and social development
• Contribute to a vocational-style curriculum with real-world application
• Work closely with pastoral and therapeutic teams

You:

• Background in Creative Media, Digital Media, or a related subject
• Experience teaching or lecturing (schools, PRUs, or FE settings)
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills
• Patient, resilient, and able to adapt teaching for SEMH learners
• Passionate about using creativity as a tool for engagement

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Purpose-built environment designed to support SEMH students
• Smaller class sizes with high levels of support
• Strong leadership team with a clear behaviour framework
• Opportunity to shape a growing vocational media provision
• Genuine impact on students who need alternative pathways to succeed

Location: Ipswich - easily accessible across Suffolk and surrounding areas
