SEMH Nurture Teacher (Primary Trained) Richmond, South West London September 2026 Start Full-Time Long-Term to Permanent £194 - £259 PAYE daily rate in line with MPS Outer London (£37,870 - £50,474 per annum) You have spent years learning how to reach children that other approaches miss. You understand that behaviour is communication. You know that a child who cannot settle is not being difficult. They are telling you something. And you have probably become very good at listening. This role is for a primary-trained teacher who wants to work where that understanding is not just welcomed, but built into everything the school does. The school is a state special school in Richmond, South West London, part of a well-established trust working exclusively with children with SEND. Every pupil holds an EHCP. The primary need across the school is SEMH. Many of the young people here carry significant trauma. They have often experienced school as an unsafe place. The work is to change that, one relationship at a time. The position is a nurture teacher role working at KS3. The school deliberately seeks primary-trained teachers for this work. The developmental lens, the relational instincts, and the understanding of how trust is built before anything else can happen. These are not secondary school competencies. They are yours. The school operates with small classes of up to 8 pupils, high adult-to-pupil ratios, and a staff team that collaborates closely around each young person. Therapists
