Tradewind Recruitment are seeking a resilient, experienced and passionate SEN Teacher to work within a specialist provision in St Helens, supporting a small group of approximately seven pupils of mixed ages with complex special educational needs, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, and challenging behaviours.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a confident teacher who thrives in a challenging environment and is passionate about making a meaningful difference to pupils who require additional support to access education.

• Be confident managing challenging behaviour using positive behaviour strategies and de-escalation techniques.
• Adapt lessons and learning activities to meet the needs of pupils of different ages and abilities.
• Build positive, trusting relationships and establish clear boundaries and routines.
• Demonstrate patience, resilience, flexibility and a nurturing approach.
• Be committed to supporting pupils' academic progress, emotional regulation and personal development.

In return, Tradewind Recruitment offers:

• Competitive daily rates of pay.
• A dedicated consultant providing ongoing support.
• Free access to CPD and specialist training opportunities.
• Opportunities to develop your experience within SEN and SEMH education.
• Access to a wide range of long-term and permanent teaching opportunities across St Helens and the wider North-West.
