We are looking for a dedicated SEND Teacher to join our vibrant school community on a long-term basis. The Teaching Role This is a classroom-based role focusing primarily on children with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). You will be responsible for creating a nurturing, structured environment that allows students to build confidence and independence. While the school caters to some complex needs and students with epilepsy, you will be supported by a highly skilled team of 1:1 Teaching Assistants who manage specific medical and behavioral requirements, allowing you to focus on high-quality, adaptive teaching. Key Responsibilities * Tailored Curriculum: Plan and deliver creative, sensory-aware lessons adapted to individual Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs). * Progress Tracking: Use small-step assessment frameworks to celebrate every milestone. * Collaboration: Lead a team of TAs effectively to ensure consistent support across the classroom. * Environment: Foster a "low-arousal" classroom setting that supports the sensory needs of ASD learners. What We’re Looking For * Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is preferred, though highly experienced SEND practitioners are encouraged to apply. * Resilience & Empathy: A genuine desire to understand the "why" behind a child’s behavior. * Experience: Previous experience with ASD/MLD is essential; knowledge of PECS, Makaton, or Team Teach is a massive bonus. * Commitment: This is a Temp-to-Perm position. We are looking for someone who wants to become a pillar of our school community. Why Join Us? * Better Work-Life Balance: Rare 15:30 finish to help you reclaim your afternoons. * Exceptional Support: Robust 1:1 TA support for complex medical needs (including epilepsy). * Career Growth: A clear pathway from temporary placement to a permanent contract. * Purpose: The chance to make a profound, lasting impact on the lives of neurodivergent young people
