Summary
SEND Supply Teacher
The Opportunity
A specialist provision in Whitehaven is looking for a dedicated and adaptable Teacher to join their team in a long-term supply role. You'll be teaching pupils with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism, communication needs, and complex learning difficulties.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a reflective, resilient teacher who believes in the power of consistent relationships and inclusive practice. If you're passionate about creating meaningful progress for children with additional needs, this role offers the chance to teach where you're truly needed.
The Role
You'll lead a small class of pupils with tailored support from experienced teaching assistants. Lessons will be planned around individual needs, focusing on communication, independence, and emotional development as much as academic progress. Every day, you'll be helping children build confidence, connection, and the skills they need to thrive.
You will:
- Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons designed around each child's EHCP
- Work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and pastoral staff to ensure a consistent approach
- Foster a calm, structured environment where pupils feel secure and able to learn
- Track and celebrate progress-academic, social, and emotional
- Provide consistent routines, clear expectations, and nurturing guidance throughout the day
Who We're Looking For
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or equivalent)
- Experience working with children with SEND (in any setting)
- A calm, adaptable teaching style with a focus on communication and connection
- Confidence in using or learning alternative teaching and communication strategies
- Strong teamwork skills and a willingness to learn from others
- A genuine commitment to inclusive education and supporting pupils with additional needs
The School
This specialist school provides a safe, structured environment for children who benefit from a more personalised approach. With small class sizes and a strong team ethos, the school puts pupil wellbeing at the heart of everything it does. Staff are supported, encouraged, and united by a shared belief: every child can progress with the right support.
Working Hours
Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 3.30pm
Full-time role (part-time may be considered)
What's on Offer?
- Competitive pay
- A consistent, long-term opportunity in a well-resourced SEND setting
- Specialist training and professional development
Ready to Teach Where It Matters Most?
If you're ready to bring your passion for SEND and your commitment to consistent support into a classroom where it will make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Safeguarding children is an integral part of what we do and we have a stringent safer recruitment process. We undertake checks on all the candidates we work with. As such we require a current Enhanced DBS Disclosure for everyone working in Schools. If you do not have a subscription to the DBS Update Service, you may be required to complete a new DBS application as part of the registration process. If you take a temporary role with Sense Education you will be paid on a weekly basis. All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay. This advert is for a temporary position but long term. In some cases, the option to make this role permanent may become available.
