Inspire Change. Build Confidence. Transform Futures.

Blackstone Recruitment is working with a specialist Alternative Provision in Norwich to recruit a passionate and resilient Primary Teacher to join their dedicated team.

This is a rewarding opportunity to work with primary-aged pupils who require a personalised approach to education due to Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and other additional barriers to learning. You will play a key role in helping children re-engage with education, develop positive relationships and achieve both academically and personally.

The school provides a nurturing, trauma-informed environment where every pupil is supported to succeed through high expectations, strong relationships and an engaging, bespoke curriculum focused on building confidence, resilience and independence.

The Role

As a Primary Teacher, you will:

• Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons that meet the individual needs of pupils across the primary age range.
• Create a safe, structured and positive learning environment where children can thrive.
• Build trusting relationships with pupils, supporting their emotional wellbeing alongside their academic progress.
• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, therapists, families and external professionals to provide holistic support.
• Use creative teaching strategies to re-engage learners who may have experienced disrupted education.
• Monitor progress, maintain accurate records and contribute to EHCP reviews where appropriate.
• Promote positive behaviour through restorative and trauma-informed approaches.
• Encourage pupils to develop confidence, resilience, independence and essential life skills.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• Has experience teaching primary-aged pupils.
• Has experience supporting children with SEMH, SEND, autism or challenging behaviour (desirable but not essential).
• Is calm, patient and resilient, with excellent behaviour management skills.
• Can build strong, positive relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues.
• Has a flexible and creative approach to teaching.
• Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

What You'll Receive

• A supportive and collaborative leadership team.
• Small class sizes allowing for personalised teaching.
• Ongoing CPD and opportunities for career progression.
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
• Access to specialist support and multi-disciplinary working.
• A rewarding role where every day brings new opportunities to positively impact young people's futures.

This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, Right to Work checks and all other safer recruitment requirements in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).
