A rewarding opportunity for a primary-trained teacher to support secondary age students in a trauma-informed environment - where your care, creativity and flexibility will help shape futures.
We are seeking a skilled and adaptable teacher with a primary background to join our committed team. You will deliver high-quality teaching across a range of subjects, supporting students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs in a therapeutic setting.
About Prospect School
We are a specialist SEMH school for boys aged 11 to 16, where every student has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Our approach is built on relationships, consistency and care.

This is a rewarding and varied teaching role, ideal for someone who thrives in a flexible, student-centred environment and wants to make a genuine difference.
What we are looking for

- A therapeutic, attachment-informed environment with clear structures and support
- A well-resourced school and a very supportive Governing Body
