Reed Education are thrilled to be supporting the launch of a brand-new independent day school opening in September 2025 in Milton Keynes. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the founding team of a purpose-built, 90-place school for pupils aged 7-19 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and associated SEND.

The focus is on therapeutic, child-centred education that empowers every learner. Pupils may also have Autism, ADHD, communication difficulties, or other complex needs. The school’s trauma-informed approach ensures that every child is supported holistically—academically, emotionally, and socially.

We are seeking qualified teachers (QTS or QTLS) from a range of subject backgrounds who are passionate about making a difference. Whether your expertise lies in core subjects or creative disciplines, what matters most is your ability to build strong, nurturing relationships and deliver engaging, meaningful learning experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver high-quality, differentiated lessons tailored to individual needs
• Build positive, professional relationships with students
• Support students with emotional regulation and behaviour management
• Create real-world, relevant learning opportunities that inspire curiosity
• Contribute to curriculum development and the wider school culture
• Participate in therapeutic training and reflective practice

• QTS or QTLS qualification
• Experience or strong interest in working with SEMH and SEND pupils
• A flexible, empathetic, and child-centred approach
• High aspirations for all learners, regardless of their starting point
• Creativity, resilience, and a collaborative mindset

• Be part of shaping a brand-new school from the ground up
• Competitive salary and enhanced occupational sickness scheme
• Staff laptop and mobile phone provided
• Extensive training and professional development opportunities
• Small class sizes with specialist TA support
• Flexible pension scheme
• Regular therapeutic supervision and wellbeing support
• Access to employee benefits including wellbeing services, salary sacrifice schemes, and discounts on high street brands and dining

This is more than just a teaching role—it’s a chance to be part of something truly special from day one. If you’re ready to help build a school that puts children first and values your voice, we’d love to hear from you.
