Teaching Personnel is working with a specialist education provision in Yeovil seeking an experienced Primary Teacher to join their dedicated team on a full-time basis from September. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a nurturing environment where relationships are at the heart of everything they do, enabling pupils to build confidence, resilience and achieve their full potential.

Working with children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, engaging and structured classroom where every learner feels supported.

• Have recent classroom experience, ideally within SEND, SEMH or an alternative provision.
• Be confident building positive relationships with pupils who require additional support.
• Demonstrate resilience, flexibility and a proactive approach to teaching.
