About the Role
This is more than a teaching role — it’s an opportunity to inspire confidence, unlock potential, and change young lives every day.
As an SEN Primary Teacher, you will deliver high-quality, inclusive education tailored to the individual strengths and needs of our pupils. Working as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team, you’ll create engaging learning experiences that promote academic achievement, personal growth, and positive behaviour.
You will play a vital role in shaping a safe, structured, and nurturing learning environment, empowering every student to succeed while ensuring provision meets organisational policies and regulatory standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Plan and deliver engaging lessons to individual pupils and small groups aligned with the school’s curriculum framework and policies
Monitor, assess, record, and report on student progress to inform future planning and next steps
Contribute to the implementation and ongoing development of the School Development Plan
Promote students’ physical, educational, and personal development in line with organisational values
Design and deliver personalised learning programmes that support meaningful progress for every learner
Coordinate teaching, assessment, and reporting for agreed subjects or curriculum areas across key stages, in collaboration with the Headteacher
This role is ideal for a reflective, resilient, and child-centred practitioner who is passionate about making a genuine and lasting difference in the lives of learners with special educational needs.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
Qualified: UK QTS or equivalent, with a relevant degree
Compassionate & Resilient: Able to build trusting relationships with pupils who may have faced significant challenges
Collaborative: A clear communicator who thrives in a team environment
Creative & Flexible: You’ll need to adapt and innovate to meet individual needs
If you’re a passionate SEN teacher ready to bring energy, creativity, and purpose to your teaching career — and want to be part of a school where every achievement matters — we’d love to hear from you.
