SEND Teacher

Wakefield

Some pupils do not need a louder voice. They need consistency, patience, and a teacher who understands that progress in SEND often looks different from a mainstream classroom.

We are recruiting a Wakefield for a specialist school in North Bradford, supporting pupils who need structure, trust, and a tailored approach to learning. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about special educational needs, values meaningful relationships, and wants to make a lasting difference in a specialist or alternative education setting.

• Use flexible teaching strategies to support different learning styles and communication needs.

• Celebrate small steps of progress and help pupils build confidence and independence.

About You

• Hold QTS or have strong experience working in SEND settings.

• Are calm, patient, and adaptable.

• Build trust and positive relationships with pupils easily.

Requirements

• A patient, compassionate, and resilient approach.

• Confidence adapting lessons for a range of abilities and needs.

• A solid understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries.
