Specialist SEND School | Full-Time | Long-Term Opportunity
£1,000 - £1,350 per week | September Start
Are you an enthusiastic and compassionate teacher looking to make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people with complex additional needs?
Do you thrive in a highly collaborative environment where education, therapy and personalised support work together to help every pupil achieve their potential?
Would you enjoy teaching within a specialist setting that values creativity, communication and developing independence as much as academic progress?
A well-established specialist SEND school is seeking a dedicated Teacher to join its experienced team from September. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a nurturing, multidisciplinary environment supporting pupils aged 4-19 with a range of moderate to severe learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), communication needs, physical disabilities and additional complex needs.
The school provides a highly personalised curriculum designed around each pupil's EHCP, enabling learners to develop academically, socially and emotionally whilst building confidence, communication and independence. Staff work closely alongside therapists, support staff, families and external professionals to ensure every child receives a consistent, holistic approach to learning and wellbeing.
