Job Description

Teach more than a subject. Help young people navigate life.

Some of the most important lessons young people learn aren't found in textbooks. Understanding relationships, developing confidence, managing emotions and making informed choices can have a lasting impact on their future.

We're working with an independent specialist school in West London that is looking for a passionate, creative and resilient PSHE & RSE Teacher to join its dedicated team.

This is an opportunity for a teacher who wants to make a genuine difference to young people with additional needs, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

If you're someone who believes education should prepare young people for life, not just examinations, this could be the perfect next step.

The Opportunity

You'll take a leading role in developing and delivering an engaging PSHE and Relationships and Sex Education curriculum, supporting pupils across Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, with some post-16 provision.

Working within a supportive, specialist environment, you'll have the opportunity to be creative with your teaching, adapt learning to individual needs and help pupils develop essential life skills.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging, age-appropriate PSHE and RSE lessons.

• Adapting teaching approaches to support pupils with ASC, SEMH and additional learning needs.

• Supporting pupils to achieve their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes.

• Developing pupils' understanding of healthy relationships, emotional wellbeing, personal safety and independence.

• Creating meaningful learning experiences that connect classroom teaching with everyday life.

• Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies.

• Contributing to curriculum planning, assessment and individual learning targets.

• Working collaboratively with colleagues, families and wider professionals to support pupil progress.

• Taking on form tutor responsibilities and providing consistent pastoral support.

Who We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from teachers who bring enthusiasm, empathy and creativity to their teaching, alongside the confidence to support young people with complex needs.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS.

• A relevant teaching specialism and an interest in PSHE and RSE.

• Experience supporting pupils with SEND, particularly ASC and SEMH.

• An understanding of differentiated teaching, positive behaviour support and emotional regulation.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusting relationships.

• A calm, patient and flexible approach to teaching.

• A genuine commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and helping every pupil succeed.

Experienced specialist teachers are encouraged to apply, but Early Career Teachers with the right attitude, understanding and commitment are also welcome.

Why Consider This Role?

This isn't simply about delivering a curriculum. It's about helping young people develop the confidence, independence and understanding they need to thrive beyond school.

You'll be joining a specialist educational setting where personalised learning, emotional wellbeing and individual progress are central to the school's approach.

For a teacher who enjoys thinking creatively, building meaningful relationships and celebrating progress in all its forms, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
