Primary Teacher - SEND / SEMH Setting

Primary Teacher (QTS) - SEND / SEMH Setting - Suffolk / North Essex
Start: September 2026 (or sooner for the right candidate)

A specialist SEND / SEMH school provision across Suffolk / North Essex is seeking a qualified Primary Teacher (QTS) to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about supporting children who require a highly structured, nurturing, and flexible approach to learning.

The role is ideal for someone who understands that progress in this environment is built on relationships, consistency, and small-step success, not just curriculum coverage.

The Role:

• Teach a primary-aged cohort with a range of SEND and SEMH needs
• Plan and deliver differentiated lessons tailored to individual learning profiles
• Focus on core skills development (literacy, numeracy, communication, and life skills)
• Create a calm, consistent, and engaging classroom environment
• Work closely with SEN staff, therapists, and pastoral teams to support holistic development

You:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience in primary teaching, SEND, or SEMH settings (ECTs welcome to apply)
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills
• Able to adapt teaching style to meet a wide range of needs
• Patient, resilient, and committed to inclusive education

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Small class sizes with strong in-class support
• Highly supportive leadership team and clear behaviour systems
• Opportunity to make a genuine, measurable impact on pupil progress
• Focus on personal development as well as academic outcomes
• Accessible locations across Suffolk and North Essex
