Are you a compassionate teacher eager to empower young people with special educational needs, including those with SEMH and autism? Fern House School offers a fantastic opportunity for an SEN Teacher or ECT with QTS to join our welcoming and well-resourced school, where you can make a real difference to our neurodiverse learners.

We are looking for an SEN Teacher or ECT who:

• Demonstrates resilience, reflective practice, warmth, creativity and adaptability in their teaching.

• Values teamwork, emotional intelligence and a commitment to personalised education.

• Has a passion for the unique opportunities of teaching outside of a mainstream environment in a special school setting.

• Possesses a kind, caring and compassionate nature, enabling them to plan and deliver inclusive, fun, and inspiring lessons.

• Holds a recognised UK teaching qualification (QTS).

As an SEN Teacher or ECT at Fern House, you will have:

• Bring learning to life through personalised and engaging lessons.

• Unlock potential by creatively adapting content for learners with diverse EHCP needs.

• Be a key figure in building secure and trusting relationships with students and their families.

• Work collaboratively with the wider support team to meet the needs of our pupils.

• Continuously evolve your practice through feedback and dedicated CPD.

Make sure you think hard before you apply however, because working at Fern House School, a school with a high level of deprivation and need, is by no means an easy job and it is not for everyone. You must be truly committed to making a difference to the lives of children who are likely to present with behaviours of concern. You need to be resilient and able to consistently put the needs of the most vulnerable children first.

Having said that, Fern House School is an exceptional place to work. The school goes above and beyond to ensure that all students feel valued and supported. The inclusive culture is driven by a deep love for the pupils and a belief that every young person can thrive. Staff build genuine, lasting relationships with students, and the leadership team ensures the right support is always in place. As an SEN Teacher or ECT here, you will be enriched in this culture of positivity and progress.

Join Fern House School and transform lives! We welcome diverse candidates and invite you to apply today.
