We provide education for children who often struggle to build and maintain healthy relationships due to these challenges. Many of our students display severe challenging behaviours, including issues related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiance and even conduct problems such as aggression. Some may also exhibit self-harm, eating disorders or medically unexplained physical symptoms. About the Role: We are looking for a Teacher who is emotionally robust, resilient and able to handle difficult and disruptive behaviour. You will support children both in the classroom and during more practical, creative activities like art and play therapy, helping them to engage with their learning while also addressing their emotional and social development. Key Responsibilities: • Provide one-on-one and small group support to children with SEMH needs • Implement individual learning and behaviour plans in collaboration with other teachers and therapists. • Help de-escalate challenging situations and create a calm, supportive environment. • Build trusting relationships with students who may be withdrawn or display opposition. • Assist with both mainstream and practical learning activities tailored to individual needs. What We’re Looking For: • Strong emotional resilience and a proactive attitude • Ability to manage challenging behaviour effectively and calmly. • Open to feedback and guidance with a willingness to listen and learn from experienced colleagues. • Previous experience with children who have SEMH or SEN needs is an advantage but not essential. Please Note: This role can be highly rewarding, but it is also demanding. Many of our pupils have been excluded from mainstream schools due to severe behavioural issues and their day-to-day reactions can be unpredictable. If you are not prepared to deal with these challenging situations, this role may not be suitable for you. Why Us? • Work in a dedicated team passionate about making a real difference. • The children are our priority, we recognise that each child has different needs which encourages our child-centred approach to learning and development. • Ongoing professional development and training in trauma-informed care Additional Information: • Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 am – 3:00 pm • Full-time and part-time roles available If you’re dedicated to supporting SEND students and making a difference in education, we’d love to hear from you, please email Mia@Axcis.co.uk!
