Pay: M1 – M6 depending on experience

Schedule: Monday–Friday & Term Time Only
Location: Castle Cary, Somerset

What Your Days Will Look Like:

You’ll be teaching in classrooms that are vibrant, busy, and full of movement. Your presence will matter — pupils will look to you for boundaries, consistency, and calm leadership. You’ll be the person who can turn a chaotic moment into a constructive one, and who understands that behaviour is communication, not confrontation.

Your daily rhythm will include:

• Leading large and small, high‑energy classes with confidence and clarity
• Delivering engaging lessons that hold attention and cut through distractions, in line with the curriculum.
• Using strong behaviour strategies, de‑escalation techniques, and restorative approaches. You could come across emotional and physical meltdowns..
• Working closely with support staff to maintain consistency across the school
• Supporting pupils with big personalities who need firm guidance and steady reassurance
• Celebrating progress — especially the small, hard‑won steps forward

What you’ll bring:

You will need presence. The kind that fills a room without raising your voice. The kind that pupils respect instantly.  A Teacher with a calm, friendly, humorous personality that can get down to their level whilst also setting clear boundaries. A person they trust so they can be the best versions of themselves.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Enhanced Child Only DBS registered on the update service ( or willingness to get one)
• Experience in busy schools or behaviour‑heavy environments

• Confidence handling challenging behaviour and large groups
• A strong, grounded personality that pupils respond to
• Resilience, humour, and the ability to reset quickly after tough moments
• A belief that every child — even the most challenging — deserves patience and consistency

You’ll receive:

• Weekly PAYE Pay (no umbrella charges)
• A daily rate of £165 - £265 per day
• Support from a team of consultant who understand the realities of challenging behaviour
