About the Role

We're looking for a passionate and dedicated SEN Teacher to join our specialist setting, supporting students who need a different approach to learning. Whether you're an experienced SEN Teacher or a mainstream teacher looking to transition into specialist education, this is an opportunity to make a genuine difference every day.

You'll teach small classes, build meaningful relationships and create engaging learning experiences that help students grow in confidence, develop independence and achieve outcomes they may never have thought possible.

Working as part of a supportive and collaborative team, you'll have the freedom to be creative in your teaching, adapt learning to individual needs and celebrate every step of progress, no matter how big or small.

This is more than a teaching role. It's a chance to empower young people, transform lives and see the impact of your work every single day.

What you will be doing

• Deliver engaging, personalised lessons tailored to individual student needs.

• Create a positive, nurturing classroom environment where students can thrive.

• Adapt teaching approaches to overcome barriers to learning.

• Build strong and trusting relationships with students, families and colleagues.

• Monitor progress and celebrate achievements, both academically and personally.

• Work alongside multidisciplinary teams to provide the best possible outcomes for students.

What You’ll Bring

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.

• A passion for helping every student achieve their potential.

• Creativity, patience and a flexible approach to teaching.

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.

• Resilience, empathy and a commitment to inclusive education.

• Experience within SEN, Autism, SEMH or specialist education is welcomed but not essential.
