Luma Education Recruitment is recruiting for a SEMH Teacher to join a welcoming and supportive specialist education setting near Newton Abbot, Devon, with opportunities across Primary and Secondary.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified teacher who wants to help young people build confidence, enjoy learning and achieve their potential.

The school offers a positive, nurturing environment with smaller classes, allowing teachers to build strong relationships and provide personalised support. Both experienced SEMH/SEN teachers and mainstream teachers looking to develop their specialist experience are encouraged to apply.

You will plan and deliver engaging lessons tailored to the individual needs of pupils, creating a calm and positive environment where they can thrive.

You will

  • Teach engaging and personalised lessons across Primary or Secondary.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils.
  • Adapt teaching to different needs, abilities and interests.
  • Encourage confidence, independence and resilience.
  • Promote positive behaviour and a love of learning.
  • Work closely with Teaching Assistants and the wider school team.
  • Support pupils' academic, social and personal development.
  • Take part in enrichment, practical and outdoor learning activities.

We are looking for a positive, patient and enthusiastic teacher who enjoys helping young people succeed.

You will need

  • QTS or equivalent.
  • Experience teaching Primary or Secondary pupils.
  • A genuine passion for supporting young people.
  • A positive and adaptable approach.
  • The ability to build strong relationships with pupils.
  • A willingness to develop your SEN/SEMH experience.

Previous experience in SEMH, SEN, SEND, AP or specialist education is an advantage but not essential. Mainstream teachers looking for a new challenge are very welcome to apply.

  • £150-£230 per day, depending on experience.
  • Full-time, long-term opportunity.
  • Primary and Secondary positions available.
  • Potential temp-to-permanent opportunity.
  • Supportive specialist school environment.
  • CPD and specialist SEN/SEMH training.
  • Dedicated support from Luma Education Recruitment.

If you're a Primary or Secondary Teacher looking for a rewarding opportunity in Newton Abbot, Devon, we'd love to hear from you.
