Are you a mainstream teacher considering a move into SEN or SEMH education?
Luma Education Recruitment is currently recruiting for a SEMH Teacher to join an impressive specialist education setting in Newton Abbot, Devon.
This is a great opportunity for a qualified teacher who enjoys teaching but is looking for a more personalised approach, smaller class sizes and a supportive environment where you can focus on the individual needs of your pupils.
You don't need extensive SEMH experience to be considered. Full training and support will be provided, making this an excellent opportunity for a mainstream teacher looking to take the next step into specialist education.
With opportunities available to start within the coming weeks, site visits are currently being arranged for suitable candidates.
About The Role
You'll work with small groups of pupils who may have social, emotional and mental health needs, helping them re-engage with education and develop the confidence and skills they need to progress.
The Role Will Involve
- Planning and delivering engaging lessons across the curriculum
- Working with small class sizes and providing a more personalised approach to teaching
- Adapting lessons to meet individual learning needs
- Supporting pupils with SEMH, SEND, behavioural and additional needs
- Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils
- Creating a calm, structured and supportive learning environment
- Managing behaviour positively and consistently
- Monitoring progress and contributing to individual learning plans
- Working closely with Teaching Assistants and the wider specialist team
- Supporting pupils to develop confidence, independence and readiness for their next steps
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A Different Approach to Teaching
If you're finding mainstream teaching increasingly difficult to balance with workload, large classes and the demands that come with the role, this could offer a refreshing change.
You'll still have the opportunity to teach and use your existing skills, but within a setting where:
- Classes are smaller
- Learning is more personalised
- Pupils receive greater individual support
- There is time within the school day for planning and preparation
- Training and development are provided
- You work alongside an experienced specialist team
- The focus is on progress, relationships and individual outcomes
This could be an ideal stepping stone for a mainstream teacher wanting to move into SEN, SEMH or specialist education without needing to have specialist experience already.
What's on Offer?
- £150-£240 per day, depending on experience
- Full-time, Monday-Friday during school hours
- Temp-to-perm opportunities available
- Training provided for teachers moving into SEMH
- Small class sizes
- Dedicated time during the school day for planning and preparation
- Supportive specialist education environment
- Opportunity to develop valuable SEN and SEMH experience
- Impressive and highly regarded school
- Free on-site parking
- Desirable Newton Abbot location
