Location: Burnley, Lancashire

Start Date: ASAP

Salary: -168.80 - -232.56 per day

Contract: Temporary to Permanent (Temp-to-Perm)

Tradewind are seeking a dedicated and trauma-informed SEMH Teacher to join a forward-thinking specialist school in Burnley. This school supports students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, as well as Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC).

This is a Temp-to-Perm opportunity, meaning you have the chance to ensure the school is the right fit for you before committing to a permanent contract. If you have a passion for re-engaging "hard to reach" learners, we want to hear from you.

• Plan and deliver a bespoke curriculum for small classes (typically 5-8 students) with varying academic abilities.

• Manage complex behaviours using de-escalation techniques and a nurturing, calm approach.

• Foster a safe learning environment where students feel supported to overcome barriers to learning.

• Work alongside a multidisciplinary team, including therapists and experienced TAs, to implement EHCP targets.

• Build strong relationships with students who may have experienced previous educational trauma.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS is essential.

• Experience in SEMH or ASC settings is highly desirable, though we welcome applications from mainstream teachers with strong behaviour management skills.

• Nurturing yet firm: You must be able to set clear boundaries while maintaining an empathetic outlook.

• Resilient and Adaptable: No two days are the same; you must be able to "think on your feet."

• Team Player: You will be leading a team of support staff and must communicate effectively.

• Temp-to-Perm Security: Gain a permanent role through a supported trial period.

• Competitive Pay: Paid to scale from day one in most instances.

• Burnley Based: Easily accessible via the M65 and local public transport links.

• Expert Support: Dedicated consultants who understand the SEN sector in Lancashire.
