The Headteacher and Governors of The Catholic School of Saint Gregory the Great are seeking to appoint an exceptional and dedicated SEN Teacher to join our EDEN provision from September 2026.

Our EDEN provision supports children with a range of additional needs, including SEND and SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) challenges. This role involves working with small groups of children, with a strong focus on helping them become ready to learn while developing their foundational skills in a nurturing, structured environment.
We are looking for a teacher who:

Has a strong understanding of special educational needs and a commitment to inclusive practice
Has extremely high expectations of both behaviour and pupil achievement, including for those with complex needs
Is enthusiastic, hardworking and a strong team player
Is willing to learn and embody “The St Gregory’s Way” - our trauma-informed, restorative approach to supporting children and working collaboratively as a team
Values the importance of building relationships and creating a classroom where children feel safe, supported and ready to succeed
Believes that learning should be engaging and enjoyable, and that children thrive when they are challenged, nurtured and inspired

We are committed to educating the whole child and are seeking someone who understands and respects the diverse needs of our pupils, while valuing the distinctive ethos of our Catholic school.

What we offer:

A supportive and forward-thinking Trust
A strong, collaborative team with a genuine sense of belonging
A wellbeing offer that is actively lived out in practice, not just a statement
Calm, respectful and engaged children
Supportive and committed families

The successful candidate will:

Contribute fully to the values, aims and ethos of the school
Have experience working with children with SEND, including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), using specialist strategies to support learning and development
Deliver high-quality teaching across the curriculum, with lessons that are carefully adapted and accessible for all learners
Demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to inspire, motivate and support children, colleagues and families
Work collaboratively with a range of professionals to secure the best outcomes for vulnerable pupils
Be fully supportive of the ethos of our Catholic school (you do not need to be a practising Catholic)
Be willing to take on additional responsibilities and contribute to the wider life of the school
