  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent

  • Experience working with SEMH, SEN, or pupils with challenging behaviour (desirable)

  • Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills

  • A patient, flexible, and empathetic approach

  • A genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable young people

  • Ongoing support from a dedicated Simply Education consultant

  • Competitive pay rates

  • Access to training and CPD opportunities

  • The chance to make a lasting impact on pupils' lives
