Are you an experienced SEN Teacher passionate about unlocking communication for non-verbal learners?
Do you excel at delivering an informal, multi-sensory curriculum for pupils with complex communication needs?
Are you seeking a rewarding, full-time teaching role starting ASAP within a highly supportive, specialist environment in South Leeds?
If so, Randstad Education wants to hear from you. We are currently recruiting an adaptable and innovative Informal TLG Teacher to join a dedicated Teaching and Learning Group (TLG) within an outstanding specialist school based in South Leeds.
About the School
They are an outstanding Specialist Inclusive Learning Centre (SILC) in South Leeds supporting pupils aged 2 to 19 with a broad spectrum of complex needs. They pride themselves on a person-centred, informal curriculum pathway that focuses heavily on multi-sensory learning, communication, and emotional regulation. Supported by state-of-the-art specialist facilities, low pupil-to-staff ratios, and an experienced multidisciplinary team—including on-site Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists—the school offers a safe, nurturing, and highly inclusive environment where every pupil’s progress is celebrated.
About the Role
This is a full-time, long-term teaching position leading a class within the Informal Teaching and Learning Group (TLG). You will cater to learners with complex communication profiles, a significant reliance on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, and predominantly pre-verbal communication.
