SEN Early Career Teacher - September Start, Parker Smith Inclusion
As an Early Career Teacher, you’re at the very start of your teaching journey, you’ve trained hard, built your knowledge, and developed your practice, but now you need the right environment to grow into the teacher you want to be, because not every school will give you that.
This is a chance to start your career in one of our specialist SEND settings in Southwark where support, guidance, and development are genuinely prioritised.
From day one, you’ll be surrounded by a team that understands what it means to be an Early Career Teacher. Staff are approachable, experienced, and invested in helping you succeed, not just in your first year, but long-term, you won’t be left to figure things out on your own.
With smaller class sizes, strong support from Teaching Assistants, and a leadership team that is visible and hands-on, you’ll have the space to focus on your teaching, your relationships with students, and your own development.
