SEND Teacher

SEND Teacher

Looking for a teaching role where every day genuinely makes a difference? This could be the one.

We’re working with a vibrant and growing special school supporting pupils aged 5–19 with moderate and severe learning difficulties, autism, ADHD, and social communication needs. This is a place where learning goes far beyond the classroom walls.

Think hands-on learning, meaningful life skills and outdoor experiences. One day might involve sensory storytelling and communication work, the next could be helping students build independence through practical activities and real-world experiences. No two days are ever quite the same, and that’s exactly why staff love it here.

The school is passionate about helping young people grow in confidence, communication, independence, and self-belief. They’re looking for someone who brings warmth, creativity, patience, and a genuine love of working with children and young people with SEND.

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering engaging, multi-sensory lessons tailored to individual learning needs
• Creating practical, creative learning experiences that help students thrive
• Supporting pupils to develop important everyday life skills and independence
• Using ICT and assistive technology to boost communication and engagement
• Building positive, trusting relationships with pupils, families, and colleagues
• Adapting your teaching style throughout the day to meet sensory and emotional needs
• Working closely with a supportive team who genuinely care about each other and the pupils they support
• Encouraging progress in learning, behaviour, confidence, and communication, however big or small the steps may be

What they’re looking for

• QTS or QTLS
• Experience working within a primary or SEND setting
• Strong communication, literacy, and numeracy skills
• A calm, flexible, and caring approach
• Someone who believes every child deserves the chance to shine

ECTs are very welcome to apply. If you’re at the start of your teaching journey and looking for a school that will support you properly, you’ll be in safe hands here.

What’s on offer

• Small class sizes, giving you time to really connect with pupils
• A welcoming and supportive staff team
• Ongoing CPD and opportunities for career progression
• A varied and rewarding role where no two days feel the same
• Students who are full of personality and genuinely enjoy coming to school
• A collaborative, values-driven environment
• Access to a healthcare scheme after successful probation
• That unbeatable feeling of knowing you’ve made a difference by the end of the day

If you’re looking for a role that’s rewarding, meaningful, and a little bit different from the ordinary classroom setup, we’d love to hear from you.
