SEN Teacher – Science
Location: Newark
Salary: Teacher Pay Scales
Contract: Full-time, permanent
We are recruiting a Science Teacher for an independent specialist day school near Newark, supporting pupils aged 9–17 with a range of additional needs, including SEMH, autism (ASC), ADHD, and attachment difficulties.
We’re looking for someone who can think outside the box, bring learning to life, and adapt their approach to engage pupils who may have struggled in traditional education. We’re more interested in finding the right person for the role than someone who simply ticks every box on paper. If you’re patient, resilient, creative, and passionate about helping young people succeed, we’d love to hear from you.
The Role
- Plan and deliver engaging, creative Science lessons tailored to individual needs.
- Adapt teaching methods to support different abilities, learning styles, and additional needs.
- Build positive, trusting relationships and create a safe, inclusive learning environment.
- Support pupils’ academic progress, emotional wellbeing, and personal development.
- Promote positive behaviour, follow safeguarding procedures, and work closely with colleagues, families, and external professionals.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
- QTS qualified, with ideal experience in teaching Science.
- A creative thinker who can make learning engaging and accessible.
- Calm, patient, and confident in supporting pupils with social, emotional, and behavioural needs.
- Able to build relationships with young people who may be anxious, disengaged, or need additional support.
- Committed to inclusive education and helping every pupil reach their potential.
Experience in a specialist SEN setting is desirable, particularly with SEMH and ASC, but applications from mainstream teachers are welcome. A SEND qualification is an advantage, not essential. SEN/trauma-informed training would be desirable too.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Above all, we want someone with the right attitude, personality, and willingness to make a difference. You don’t need to have worked in a specialist school before if you have the creativity, compassion, and commitment to succeed.
What’s on Offer?
- Competitive salary and enhanced pension contributions for qualified teachers.
- Comprehensive induction and ongoing training and professional development.
- A supportive, passionate team focused on improving outcomes for young people.
- Employee wellbeing support, counselling, and life assurance.
- Cycle to work scheme, employee discounts, and other staff benefits.
