Learning Support Teacher (SEN Teacher) job summary

Mossbourne Federation is the realisation of Sir Clive Bourne’s dream to provide the children of Hackney with an outstanding education. Built on a formula of high expectations, doing the simple things right, and the belief that all children can succeed, Mossbourne offers an environment where all learners, regardless of ability, benefit from innovative and enlightened approaches to teaching and learning. Our calm working atmosphere creates well-rounded individuals who excel in the arts, on the sporting field, and academically.

In 2025, our 20th anniversary year, we are delighted to have expanded to include three Thurrock schools in our Federation. We now consist of seven academies:

Mossbourne Community Academy (MCA) secondary and sixth form, Hackney

Mossbourne Fobbing Academy (MFA) secondary and sixth form, Thurrock

Mossbourne Herd Lane Academy (MHLA) primary, Thurrock

Mossbourne Parkside Academy (MPA) primary, Hackney

Mossbourne Port Side Academy (MPSA) secondary, Thurrock

Mossbourne Riverside Academy (MRA) primary, Hackney

Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy (MVPA) secondary, Hackney

You must be passionate about education and about ensuring students with additional needs make outstanding progress within the curriculum and strive towards independence. You must have a proven track record of successful teaching across different key stages and have experience of SEN or a desire to acquire specialist SEN knowledge and experience.

You will be required to deputise for the SENCo, when required, support in the line management of colleagues in the CSD Department, and work in close liaison with Heads of Learning Areas and classroom teachers to support students’ inclusion in learning within the classroom. You will also be expected to liaise with external agencies and parents and carers and chair meetings where required. Attention to detail is a crucial skill, as is the ability to be organised and efficient in meetings deadlines and completing paperwork to a high standard.

The successful applicant will teach a 0.5 timetable in their subject specialism or with student groups with SEN needs and support the SENCo in the successful running of the CSD Department.

We welcome applications from both primary and secondary qualified teachers, due to the range of subjects you would be required to teach and due to the cognitive age of the students
