The Role
We are seeking an inspirational, resilient, and highly adaptable Class Teacher to lead a small group of Key Stage 3 (KS3) students within our specialised Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) provision.

Applications are welcome from Primary school teachers.

Unlike a mainstream secondary role focused on a single subject, this position operates much like a primary or nurture model. You will be the primary educator for a small cohort (typically 5–7 students), planning and teaching an adapted, cross-curricular timetable spanning core and foundation subjects for your own lessons and for implementation by LSAs. Supported by a dedicated team of Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), your focus will be on closing academic gaps while embedding robust emotional regulation and social skills.

About Crosthwaite
Crosthwaite provides a calm, structured, and supportive environment for students who require additional support to thrive. Class sizes are very small, allowing for close relationships, personalised learning, and a strong focus on both academic progress and wellbeing.

Key Responsibilities
·    Plan and deliver high-quality, creative, and scaffolded lessons across a thematic KS3 curriculum, containing core subjects (English, Maths, and Science) as part of a rich broad curriculum, are accessible and engaging.
·    Plan and monitor LSA led interventions and learning sessions.
·    Play a role in the development and Implementation of targeted learning plans that align with each pupil's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes.
·    Establish a predictable, low-arousal, and nurture-focused classroom environment using trauma-informed practices and positive behavioural strategies.
·    Actively track, assess, and record both academic progress and emotional-regulation milestones using internal tracking frameworks.
·    Collaborate closely with the school SENCO’s, learning support and pastoral teams to ensure holistic support.
·    Build strong, trusting partnerships with parents and carers to facilitate positive engagement with school life.

What We're Looking For
·    Qualifications: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS / QTLS) is essential. Applications from primary-trained teachers looking to transition to secondary nurture settings, or secondary teachers with extensive nurture/SEND experience, are highly welcomed.
·    Experience: Proven experience working with young people displaying complex SEMH needs, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), or challenging behaviours within a mainstream base, alternative provision (AP), or special school.
·    Skills: Strong understanding of nurture principles, de-escalation strategies and how trauma impacts adolescent brain development and learning. Ability and willingness to plan and teach in an adaptive and responsive manner in keeping with our ongoing whole school professional development. 
·    Attributes: Exceptional resilience, patience, a non-judgmental approach, and a genuine passion for unlocking the potential of vulnerable learners.

What We Offer 
We offer a large comprehensive school environment combined with a small community feel and a dedicated, high-ratio LSA support within your classroom. There is regular CPD in a range of areas suitable to the needs identified.

Further details and an application form can be found on our website https://trinity.cumbria.sch.uk/about-us/vacancies/

What to do next
We hope that these details have helped you decide that you would like to apply for this post.  Please fill in the application form and a letter explaining why we should be thinking about appointing you and what we would gain if you joined our school to  Mrs Judith Clarke, PA to the Headteacher, Trinity School, Strand Road, Carlisle, CA1 1JB or email [email protected] by 9.00am, Monday 28th September 2026.
