Are you a resilient and inspiring teacher with a passion for supporting students who need it most?

We are working with a vibrant, diverse 11-16 secondary school in Middlesbrough seeking to appoint a Behaviour Specialist / SEMH Teacher to join their team on a long-term basis from September (or sooner), with the opportunity to secure a permanent position for the right candidate.

This is a highly rewarding opportunity to make a genuine impact on students who may be disengaged from learning or facing social, emotional, and mental health challenges.

You will:

  • Deliver engaging lessons that reignite motivation and build confidence
  • Work with a mix of smaller intervention groups and full class settings
  • Use strong behaviour management strategies to create a calm and purposeful learning environment
  • Support pupils to re-engage with education and achieve meaningful progress
  • Play a key role in the school's pastoral and behaviour support systems

    • We are keen to hear from teachers who:

  • Hold QTS (or equivalent teaching qualification)
  • Have experience working with SEMH, challenging behaviour or disengaged learners
  • Are confident, consistent, and capable of leading strong behaviour management
  • Can build positive, trusting relationships with students
  • Are passionate about making a lasting difference beyond academics

    • About the School:

  • Inclusive and forward-thinking secondary setting
  • Strong focus on pastoral care, behaviour support, and student wellbeing
  • Supportive leadership team and collaborative staff culture
  • Committed to helping every student achieve their potential, regardless of starting point

    • What's on Offer

  • Long-term stability with potential for permanent employment
  • Opportunity to work in a role with real impact and purpose
  • Support from experienced leaders and SEN/pastoral teams
  • A chance to develop your expertise in SEMH and behaviour-focused teaching

    • If you are a passionate teacher ready to inspire, motivate, and transform outcomes for young people, we'd love to hear from you.
