Job overview

Primary Teacher with SEMH Responsibility

Main to Upper Pay Scales with TLR2b and SEN1 point 

Start date: as soon as possible

Please note that this role is not suitable for ECTs.

Manchester Hospital School works to ensure that any child who is unable to attend their own school due to ill health can continue to make progress in their education and to experience success.

We work with children of all ages and abilities and operate across a number of sites including Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (RMCH) and the Christie NHS Foundation Trust. We run the Leo Kelly School as part of our hospital school for children and young people with specific health needs which cannot be met in any other settings. We also offer home tuition to children who cannot attend either their own school or any of our locations.

We are a school like no other: a place where you can make a real difference to the lives of children and families during a period where they need it the most. It is incredibly rewarding work.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a Primary Teacher who has significant experience in working with pupils with social emotional and mental health needs (SEMH) and offering support and guidance to colleagues on SEMH provision.

You will teach children with significant SEMH needs, as well as offering advice and guidance to schools on supporting pupils with Emotional Barriers to School Attendance (EBSA) and other medical conditions that may be affecting their ability to attend school. You will lead on the design of tailored curriculums for individual pupils that can be delivered at home or in alternative settings, and will work closely with schools to create reintegration plans for pupils to support their transition back to school or onto other provisions. You will also have an important role to play in liaising with professionals from other agencies such as CAMHS and the School Health Service, to share information and to plan next steps. 

About you

We are looking for a highly adaptive teacher who is experienced in working with pupils with SEMH and other special educational needs. You will demonstrate considerable knowledge and understanding of how best to meet the needs of pupils who experience significant mental health challenges and be able to apply this knowledge to break down barriers to learning. You will be confident in your ability to use your knowledge and experience to support and guide professionals from other schools.

It’s important that you bring a flexible and practically-minded approach to your work. It’s likely that you will work across more than one of our sites in any given week and you can expect to teach in a range of settings e.g.  teaching in the pupils home,  working with groups or on a one-to-one basis. This role is anticipated to be a full-time appointment, but we will consider part-time arrangements for the right candidate.
