About this role
Teacher (2 Positions) - Specialist SEMH School
Tewkesbury Area | Temporary Positions | Immediate Start | Reed Education
Reed Education are working in partnership with a specialist secondary provision in the Tewkesbury area to recruit two dedicated and resilient Teachers to join their team on a temporary basis for the current term.
This is an excellent opportunity for teachers who are passionate about supporting young people with additional needs and who understand the importance of building strong, positive relationships to help students achieve success both academically and personally.
About the Role
The successful candidates will support the school's core English and Maths provision, teaching predominantly up to Entry Level 3. While experience teaching Functional Skills Level 2 and/or GCSE would be advantageous, the school places far greater value on a teacher's ability to connect with students, build trust and create a positive learning environment.
You will be working with secondary-aged students with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, including:
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- ADHD

The Ideal Candidate Will
- Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent teaching qualifications
- Be confident teaching students working at Entry Level
- Demonstrate excellent relationship-building skills
- Understand that behaviour is often a form of communication
- Remain calm, patient and consistent when managing challenging situations
- Have experience working with SEMH, SEND, or vulnerable young people
- Possess a trauma-informed approach to education
- Bring warmth, authenticity, humour and resilience to their practice
- Maintain high expectations whilst creating a safe and supportive learning environment
Beyond the Classroom
This specialist provision values staff who are willing to contribute to all aspects of school life. In addition to classroom teaching, successful candidates may:
- Support learning outside of their specialist subject area
- Lead or assist with enrichment activities
- Encourage participation in wider learning experiences
- Play an active role in developing positive student relationships across the school
A willingness to get involved and support students holistically is essential to success within this setting.
Why Apply?
- Opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of vulnerable young people
