About the Role

What if your teaching could help a young person take their first steps towards employment, greater independence or a future they never thought possible? At Bankside College, we're looking for a motivated, resourceful and enthusiastic Post-16 SEN Teacher who understands that education is about preparing young people for life, not just the next lesson.

You'll be joining our specialist college at an important stage in our students' lives, helping them develop the knowledge, practical skills and self-belief they need to navigate adulthood with greater confidence.

This is a role where learning has a purpose beyond the classroom.

You'll create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that connect education with everyday life, from developing essential IT and digital skills to exploring employability, problem-solving and independent living.

Our students have different abilities, ambitions and starting points, so your creativity and adaptability will be key. You'll find ways to make learning relevant, achievable and rewarding, helping each young person recognise their strengths and take pride in their progress.

Working alongside education, therapy and support colleagues, you'll be part of a collaborative team committed to helping students overcome barriers and move towards positive futures.

Whether you're an experienced SEN Teacher or a qualified teacher with IT or Computing expertise looking to make a difference in specialist education, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

What you will be doing

• Prepare students for their next chapter, delivering purposeful Post-16 learning that develops practical knowledge, confidence and skills for adult life.

• Connect learning with the real world, teaching IT, digital skills and related subjects through engaging activities that support everyday independence and future employment.

• Make learning meaningful, designing personalised lessons that reflect students' individual abilities, interests, aspirations and learning goals.

• Encourage independence and self-belief, helping students develop decision-making, problem-solving and communication skills that support their future choices.

• Create opportunities for success, adapting resources, teaching approaches and activities to ensure students with SEND can participate, progress and achieve.

• Recognise progress in every form, setting achievable targets, monitoring development and celebrating milestones that matter to each individual.

• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with therapists, support staff, families and other professionals to provide consistent, personalised support.

• Help develop future-focused learning pathways, contributing ideas to curriculum planning while promoting student wellbeing, safeguarding and positive outcomes.

What you will bring

We're looking for a teacher who sees potential where others may see barriers and who can turn everyday learning into valuable preparation for the future.

You'll bring:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification – essential.

• Experience teaching IT, Computing, Digital Skills or a related subject area, with the ability to make learning practical, accessible and engaging.

• A genuine commitment to supporting young people with SEND and helping them prepare for further education, employment and independent living.

• The creativity and flexibility to adapt teaching methods to suit different abilities, learning styles and individual needs.

• A positive, encouraging approach that helps students build confidence, develop resilience and recognise their own achievements.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage students and work effectively with families and colleagues.

• The patience, resilience and adaptability to respond calmly and constructively to challenges.

• A collaborative approach to working with education, therapy and support professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes.

• A full driving licence – essential.

About Us

At OFG Education, we believe every student deserves an education designed around who they are. Through high expectations, deep expertise and truly personalised education, we help students realise their potential and prepare for successful futures.
