Storyybrook is a relational, trauma-informed SEMH primary provision for pupils aged 5–11. We believe behaviour is communication and create a safe, structured and nurturing environment where young people feel understood, supported and able to thrive.

Our approach is centred around strong relationships, consistency and adapting learning to meet the needs of each individual child.

We are looking for a committed and reflective Primary Teacher who understands the complexities of SEMH and is passionate about making a meaningful difference.

• Create a calm, structured and predictable classroom environment
• Assess and monitor both academic and holistic progress
• Contribute to individual learning plans and reviews
• Work closely with colleagues, families and external professionals
• Support reintegration pathways where appropriate

We are looking for someone who is:

• A qualified teacher with QTS
• Experienced or confident in working with pupils with SEMH and/or SEND
• Calm, patient and able to remain consistent under pressure
• Strong in building relationships with children who may initially struggle to engage
• Reflective in practice and open to continuous development
• Flexible and adaptable in their approach
• Committed to inclusive education and improving outcomes for vulnerable learners

• A supportive and experienced team
• Small class sizes and a relational approach
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• A positive and collaborative working environment
• A strong focus on staff wellbeing
