• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with experience teaching Hair and Beauty at BTEC Level 2 or equivalent
• Previous experience working with students with SEMH needs, ideally in a PRU or similar alternative provision
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and behaviour management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with students and staff
• A patient, resilient, and empathetic approach to working with young people facing emotional and behavioural difficulties
• A passion for supporting students in developing vocational skills alongside personal growth and emotional resilience

What You Can Expect:

• A highly rewarding and challenging teaching role in a specialist SEMH provision
• The chance to make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable young people, helping them develop both vocational skills and confidence
• A supportive and collaborative team environment, with ongoing professional development opportunities
• Competitive salary paid to scale for qualified teachers
