About the role

As one of their SEND Teachers, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises pupil's achievement and ability to develop, supported by the school’s national support team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where they maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened, to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

When it comes to looking after their pupils, they never settle for second best. They are looking for a SEND Class Teacher experienced in a range of teaching styles and who shares their vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Whilst previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment would be desirable, excellent teaching skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important. Appropriate training can be offered to a successful applicant.

Educated to degree level and/or of Qualified Teacher Status, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, and have an innovative style of teaching, motivated by helping every pupil reach their potential.

Their schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. If you enjoy working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and learning, simply fill in their safeguarding-compliant application form and a member of their team will be in touch.
