Job Opportunity: SEN EYFS/KS1 Teacher
Are you an inspirational and adaptable primary teacher with expertise in supporting pupils with special educational needs? Do you excel at modifying learning for children at the very beginning of their educational journey across Early Years and Key Stage 1? Are you looking for a rewarding, full-time autumn term placement that allows you to make an immediate impact?
If so, Randstad Education wants to hear from you. We are currently recruiting a dedicated SEN EYFS/KS1 Teacher for a high-quality short-term temporary position starting in September 2026. Based within a highly regarded specialist provision in the Castleford area, this role offers an excellent opportunity to work within a skilled, supportive team.
About The School
They are a warm, welcoming, and purposeful specialist provision that is entirely dedicated to providing high-quality education for pupils with a wide range of learning difficulties, autism, and complex needs. They pride themselves on offering a heavily adapted, sensory-friendly environment where children are supported to communicate, socialise, and learn at their own pace. The team there is exceptionally collaborative, ensuring that teachers, support staff, and therapy teams work hand-in-hand to build a safe, structured, and joy-filled learning environment for every child.
