Tradewind Recruitment are working in partnership with an exciting new specialist SEMH school in St Helens to recruit a nurturing, compassionate and enthusiastic English Teacher.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a new school supporting young people who experience social, emotional and mental health needs, particularly those who struggle with anxiety, low confidence and accessing mainstream education.

We are looking for a teacher who understands the importance of building relationships, creating a safe and welcoming learning environment and helping pupils rediscover their confidence in education.

The Role:

• Deliver engaging and accessible English lessons tailored to individual learning needs.

• Create a calm, supportive and nurturing classroom environment.

• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils who may experience anxiety and low self-esteem.

• Encourage pupils to develop confidence, communication skills and a love of learning.

• Adapt teaching approaches to ensure every pupil feels included and supported.

• Work collaboratively with colleagues to promote pupils' emotional wellbeing and academic progress.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.

• Experience teaching English, ideally within secondary education.

• A naturally patient, empathetic and nurturing approach.

• An understanding of how anxiety and emotional wellbeing can impact learning.

• Passionate about helping young people overcome barriers to education.

Why Join?

• Opportunity to become part of a brand-new specialist school.

• Chance to help shape a positive and supportive learning environment from the beginning.

• A rewarding role where building confidence and relationships is just as important as academic progress.

• Long-term opportunity with the potential to make a genuine difference.

If you are a passionate English Teacher who believes every young person deserves to feel safe, understood and capable of achieving, we would love to hear from you!
