Do you have the resilience, compassion, and drive to support young people who have faced barriers to their education? Are you an experienced Teacher who thrives in a challenging but highly rewarding environment?
Parker Smith Inclusion is working with a specialist secondary provision in Outer London supporting students with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs), many of whom have experienced trauma, adverse childhood experiences, anxiety, dysregulation, and behavioural challenges.

• Create a calm, consistent, and emotionally safe classroom environment
• De-escalate challenging behaviours using restorative and relational approaches
• Work closely with a skilled team of TAs, mentors, and pastoral staff
• Build positive relationships with students, families, and outside agencies
• Implement strategies that support emotional regulation, resilience, and re-engagement with learning
