A secondary school in the borough of Southwark are seeking to employ additional support staff to work with Secondary aged students with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. (SEMH)

The curriculum approach enables all pupils to be taught in a way which optimises their learning and is relevant and meaningful to them. All pupils work at their own level through individualised teaching strategies and differentiated lessons based on the expectations of the National Curriculum.

To be eligible to apply for this position, you will need to be available to start immediately, as well as being able to commit to working 8.30am - 4.30pm.
