About the Role
Are you an enthusiastic teacher or instructor who believes every child deserves the opportunity to succeed?
At Bricklehurst Manor School, we're looking for a passionate Primary SEN Teacher / Instructor to join our dedicated team and help transform the lives of pupils with Special Educational Needs, Autism (ASC) and associated needs.
This is more than a teaching role—it's an opportunity to nurture confidence, unlock potential and celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small. Working in our supportive specialist setting, you'll have the freedom to deliver creative, personalised learning that inspires pupils to engage, grow and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
If you're looking for a career where every day is rewarding and your impact is truly life-changing, we'd love to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Plan and deliver engaging, creative and personalised lessons that meet the individual needs of pupils with SEN and ASC.
- Create a nurturing, inclusive classroom where every pupil feels safe, valued and motivated to learn.
- Support pupils' academic, emotional, social and personal development, helping them build confidence and independence.
- Adapt teaching approaches and learning activities to maximise engagement, progress and achievement.
- Monitor, assess and celebrate pupil progress, using assessment to inform future learning.
- Work collaboratively with therapists, teaching assistants, families and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide consistent, holistic support.
- Promote positive behaviour through therapeutic, relationship-based approaches that encourage self-regulation and resilience.
- Contribute to the wider school community, curriculum development and enrichment opportunities that enhance every pupil's educational journey.
