We are seeking a dedicated and resilient Primary Teacher to join a specialist SEMH Alternative Provision in Burgess Hill from September. This is a part-time role working Monday to Wednesday, supporting pupils who require a more personalised and nurturing approach to education.

• Create a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom environment.

• Use creative and flexible teaching approaches to re-engage learners.

• Manage behaviour effectively using positive strategies and de-escalation techniques.

• Work closely with support staff and pastoral teams.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Holds QTS or equivalent teaching qualification.

• Has experience teaching within Primary education.

• Has experience with, or a strong understanding of, SEMH and SEND.

• Is calm, patient, and resilient in challenging situations.

• Has strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.

• Is committed to helping pupils overcome barriers to learning.

What’s on Offer?

• Part-time working pattern (Monday–Wednesday).

• Small class sizes and supportive staff team.

• A highly rewarding opportunity to support vulnerable learners.

• Ongoing professional development.

• Paid to scale.

• September start.

If you are a Primary Teacher who is passionate about supporting children with SEMH needs and making education accessible for all, we would love to hear from you.
