Randstad Education is looking for resilient, highly skilled SEMH Teachers to work within alternative provisions, Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), and specialised SEMH schools in Colchester. This role is designed for educators who thrive in non-traditional settings and possess the emotional intelligence to look past challenging behaviours to reach the child underneath. You will be responsible for delivering modified curricula to small classes of students who may have faced significant trauma or have complex neuro-diverse profiles.
Job Responsibility:
Plan and deliver highly differentiated lessons that engage students with significant barriers to learning
Lead a classroom team of Teaching Assistants, ensuring a cohesive approach to behaviour management
Utilise de-escalation techniques (such as PRICE or Team Teach) to maintain a safe and calm learning environment
Develop Individual Education & Behaviour Plans (IEPs/IBPs) in collaboration with SENCOs and external therapists
Foster emotional regulation by integrating social and emotional goals into daily academic tasks
Communicate effectively with parents and carers, providing a consistent bridge between home and school
Requirements:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent qualification is essential
Proven experience working with SEMH, ASD, or ADHD in a specialised or high-needs mainstream setting
Exceptional behaviour management skills and the ability to remain calm under extreme provocation
A non-judgemental, trauma-informed approach to education
Resilience and 'thick skin'-the ability to start every day with a fresh slate regardless of the previous day's challenges
Enhanced DBS on the update service and excellent professional references
What we offer:
Premium daily rates reflecting the specialist nature of the role
Small class sizes (typically 5-8 students) allowing for intensive 1-to-1 impact
Specialised training opportunities, including Team Teach, trauma-informed practice, and mental health first aid
