Make a Difference Where It Matters Most
Do you believe every young person deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of the barriers they have faced?
At The Complete Works (TCW), we believe education has the power to transform lives. We are looking for compassionate, resilient and creative teachers to join our growing team and provide meaningful education to young people who need it most.
This is not a traditional classroom role. As a TCW teacher, you’ll work with children and young people who are unable to access mainstream education due to a range of complex needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, trauma, and permanent exclusion.
Many of the students we support have experienced significant adversity, including challenging childhood experiences and traumatic events. They need consistent, understanding adults who can build trusting relationships, have high levels of emotional resilience, and help them rediscover their confidence and love of learning.
About the Role
You’ll deliver engaging, personalised education to students through one-to-one sessions and small group teaching across homes, learning centres and community venues throughout London.
Every day is different. You’ll have the opportunity to be creative, adapt your approach and celebrate progress in all its forms because every step forward, no matter how small, can have a lasting impact.
You’ll teach a broad curriculum, including English, Maths and Science (to Foundation GCSE level), while supporting students’ academic progress, emotional wellbeing and personal development.
Travel expenses are included within the remuneration package, recognising the important role you play in bringing education directly to the young people we support.
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
Has experience teaching or working with children and young people with additional needs.
Can confidently teach English, Maths and Science to Foundation GCSE level.
Understands, or is willing to develop their knowledge of, trauma-informed practice and relational approaches.
Demonstrates exceptional emotional resilience and can remain calm, patient and professional in challenging situations.
Can build strong, trusting relationships with vulnerable young people.
Is adaptable, organised and confident working independently.
Is passionate about helping students overcome barriers and reach their potential.
Why Join TCW?
Make a genuine and lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable young people.
Enjoy smaller teaching groups and one-to-one teaching opportunities.
Deliver creative, personalised education that puts students first.
Access ongoing professional development, training and support.
Be part of a supportive, collaborative team that values your contribution.
Develop your skills and progress within the organisation.
Benefit from school holiday flexibility, with most holiday working completed from home where required.

A Rewarding Role with Real Impact
This role involves working closely with students who may experience SEMH needs, anxiety, behavioural challenges and the impact of significant trauma.
While the role is incredibly rewarding, it can also be emotionally demanding. We are looking for individuals who bring empathy, professionalism, emotional resilience and a commitment to reflective practice.
We believe our students deserve a broad range of role models reflecting the diversity of our society. Therefore, we welcome applications from those of all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions.
The Complete Works school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 2020. Any job offer will be conditional on the satisfactory completion of pre-employment checks, including an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and barred list check.
Ready to Change Lives?
If you’re looking for a teaching role where every day has purpose, where relationships matter, and where your work can create a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and help us provide education without barriers.
