Are you an experienced hairdresser looking for something a little different?
We are recruiting a Hairdressing Teacher to work within a specialist SEMH school in Tower Hamlets, supporting young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs.

Many pupils have experienced difficulties within mainstream education and may display challenging behaviour. Hairdressing sessions will be used as a positive intervention to encourage engagement, develop trust and provide valuable life skills.
