SEMH Teacher

How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?

At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.

That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4

DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.

Many of our schools have already introduced the 4

DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #team

We’re looking for an inspiring, resilient and passionate SEMH Teacher to join the dedicated team at Bramfield House School. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a specialist setting where your creativity, compassion and expertise will genuinely change lives.

Our pupils have Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and need more than just a teacher—they need someone who believes in them, champions their strengths and helps them overcome barriers to learning. If you’re driven to support children to succeed academically, socially and emotionally, this role is for you.

About the Role

As an SEMH Teacher, you’ll play a vital role in delivering high-quality, inclusive education as part of our strong “One Team” ethos. You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues across education, care and therapy, ensuring a consistent and joined-up approach to every child’s learning and development.

You’ll plan and deliver engaging, well-differentiated lessons aligned to the relevant key stage and accreditation pathways, always tailored to meet individual needs. By working in a trans-disciplinary way, you’ll seamlessly integrate academic learning with emotional regulation, behaviour support and social development—helping pupils re-engage with education and rediscover their potential.

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute fully to the One Team approach, delivering consistent, high-quality education and care for pupils with SEMH needs
• Plan, prepare and deliver a differentiated curriculum aligned to key stage and subject areas
• Integrate academic learning with social, emotional and behavioural development in line with individual learning plans
• Proactively remove barriers to learning, enabling all pupils to participate and succeed
• Deliver short-, medium- and long-term learning programmes that meet accreditation requirements and individual SEN profiles
• Create stimulating, purposeful learning environments that encourage curiosity, engagement and achievement
• Use creative teaching strategies, high-quality resources and meaningful displays to promote active learning
• Ensure all pupils make strong progress in line with their abilities, needs and potential

What We're Looking For:

• We’re seeking someone who is:
• A creative, reflective and nurturing practitioner with a pupil-centred approach
• Confident, resilient and calm in supporting pupils with SEMH needs
• A strong team player who thrives in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment
• Ready to lead, innovate and make a genuine, long-term impact

Essential Qualifications

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Full UK Driving Licence
