This is a well-resourced setting with extensive support structures in place, making it an excellent opportunity for teachers who are passionate about inclusive education and want to make a meaningful impact.

You will be responsible for delivering a tailored, engaging curriculum to pupils with diverse needs, many of whom benefit from hands-on, experiential learning rather than traditional academic approaches.

• Work collaboratively with support staff, therapists, and senior leaders

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS or equivalent)
• Experience working with SEN pupils (in either mainstream or specialist settings)
• A patient, flexible, and proactive approach to teaching
• Strong behaviour management skills and emotional resilience
• A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs

• Strong staffing ratios and in-class support
• Access to specialist resources and facilities
• Ongoing CPD and training opportunities
• A supportive and experienced leadership team
• Opportunity to transition into a permanent role

This school places a strong emphasis on developing life skills, independence, and emotional wellbeing, alongside academic progress. The environment is structured yet nurturing, designed to meet the needs of pupils who thrive with routine, sensory input, and practical engagement.
