Tradewind Recruitment are seeking a dedicated, flexible and experienced SEN Teacher to work full-time at a specialist school supporting pupils aged 7-16 across KS2 to KS4.

Although pupils span a wide age range, they are all currently working at primary curriculum level. For this reason, experience of delivering the primary curriculum is particularly important. Applications are welcome from both primary and secondary-trained teachers who have the relevant experience and skills to meet the needs of these pupils.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about inclusive education and can adapt their teaching approach to support pupils with a range of additional needs and barriers to learning.

Provide a structured, supportive learning environment that promotes engagement, progress and positive behaviour.
Support pupils with a range of needs, including Autism, ADHD, and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Work collaboratively with support staff and other professionals to help pupils achieve their potential.
Demonstrate flexibility in responding to the changing needs of different age groups and learners.

The Ideal Candidate

Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Has previous experience teaching pupils with additional needs in a specialist SEN setting or a similar environment.
Has experience delivering the primary curriculum, which is essential for this role.
Has experience supporting pupils with Autism, ADHD and social, emotional or behavioural difficulties.
Is highly adaptable, patient and resilient, with the ability to adjust their teaching approach to suit different ages, abilities and needs.
Can build positive relationships with pupils who may face significant barriers to learning.
Is committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing and engaging learning environment.

A full-time teaching position within a specialist school.
A fixed-term opportunity running until July 2027.
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference to pupils' educational progress and personal development.
Ongoing support from your dedicated Tradewind Recruitment consultant.
Access to free professional development and training through The National College.
