SEND Class Teacher

Full time or part time. Fixed term 1 year

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher to work in our Language and Additional Needs (LAN) unit for 12 children aged between 4 and 7 years old. The LAN unit is funded by the local authority and provides an alternative to a special school for those pupils with SEND who are unable to fully integrate into mainstream classes due to the extent of their developmental needs but who may benefit from inclusion in a mainstream class with high-level support. Alongside the class teacher, there is a team of support staff giving a ratio of 1 adult to every 2 children. In order to meet the LEA’s admissions criteria, children have to have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and the high level of support staff ensures we can meet the individualise targets that are written into these plans.

The successful applicant will have a passion for creating lifelong learners, be committed to inclusion and equality and have high expectations of themselves and every child. Main duties and responsibilities of the job are included in the job description attached to this advertisement along with a person specification giving details of the skills, qualifications and experience required for the roles.
