Full job descriptionPackage Description: At All’s Well School, we work with children and young people who have faced significant barriers to education and learning.
Through patience, trust, consistency and the right support, we help learners rebuild confidence, develop new skills and achieve outcomes they may never have thought possible.
We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Class Teacher & SENCO to join our team and support learners with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.
This is more than a teaching role. You’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, inspire a love of learning and help young people overcome barriers, develop resilience and achieve their potential in a safe, nurturing and therapeutic environment.
For the right candidate, there may also be an opportunity to take on the SENCO role, helping to coordinate and develop provision for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
If you’re a compassionate, resilient and reflective teacher who believes every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
Working as part of our dedicated education team, you’ll plan and deliver engaging, creative and personalised learning experiences that meet the individual needs of our pupils.
You’ll adapt your teaching to support a range of SEMH, SEND and neurodiverse needs, helping learners develop their knowledge, confidence, independence and readiness to learn. Through consistent routines, positive relationships and trauma-informed practice, you’ll create an environment where pupils feel safe, supported and able to make progress.
You’ll work closely with teaching assistants, therapeutic staff, families and external professionals to ensure pupils receive the support they need to achieve positive academic, social and personal outcomes.
No two days are the same, but every day offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference.
What You’ll Be Doing

*Assessing, monitoring and recording pupil progress, adapting teaching and interventions to support achievement.
*Delivering targeted interventions, catch-up programmes and individualised learning activities.

*Using relational, trauma-informed and restorative approaches to support emotional regulation and positive behaviour.
*Establishing calm, consistent classroom routines and creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive learning environment.
*Implementing individual support plans, behaviour strategies, risk assessments and therapeutic recommendations.
*Working collaboratively with teaching assistants and support staff to promote engagement and maximise learning opportunities.
*Supporting pupils to overcome barriers to education, repair relationships and re-engage with learning.
*Working closely with families, therapists, social workers and external professionals to support pupil progress and wellbeing.
*Contributing to EHCP reviews, annual reviews, reports, multi-agency meetings and individual support planning.
*Promoting safeguarding and pupil wellbeing, ensuring concerns are reported promptly in line with school policies.
*Supporting attendance, reintegration and transitions where required.
*Contributing to curriculum development, school improvement and your own ongoing professional development.
For candidates taking on the SENCO role, responsibilities will also include coordinating SEND provision, advising colleagues on appropriate support strategies, maintaining accurate SEND records, liaising with external agencies and monitoring the implementation and effectiveness of EHCPs.
