The Ideal Candidate Will Have: • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) – or relevant teaching qualification. • Experience working with students with SEMH needs or within an alternative provision. • Exceptional behaviour management skills and a trauma-informed approach. • The ability to build trust and strong, respectful relationships with young people. • A sense of humour, patience, and a genuine commitment to inclusive education. Why Join Us? • A highly supportive and experienced team. • Access to ongoing CPD and specialist training (e.g., de-escalation, trauma-informed practice). • Opportunities for progression and leadership. • A chance to make a real impact every single day. <br/><br />If you are interested, then please click on the apply button and contact Jake White on 020 7580 2956 l Ext: 1068.<br /><br />If you are not interested in this role but know someone else who might be, <strong>don&#39;t forget that we offer &pound;50 in shopping vouchers if you refer a friend to us and we place them in the job.</strong> For more details, contact your local Axcis office.<br /><br /><em>This is a temporary position, unless stated otherwise.</em><br /><br /><em>Axcis is an equal opportunities employer and as such we do not discriminate based on age, gender, disability, race or any other equal opportunities criteria.<br /><br />The company is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
