Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities?

Do you believe in inclusive education, high aspirations, and personalised learning? If so, we would love to hear from you.

We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic SEND Teacher to join our Resource Provision/SEND Department, working closely with the Assistant Headteacher (SEND & Inclusion) to ensure all learners make excellent progress academically, socially, and against their EHCP outcomes.

While the role involves teaching KS3 and KS4 pupils, most students are currently working at a KS1-KS2 level. You will therefore need the ability to deliver engaging and effective lessons appropriate to these stages.

About the Role

As a SEND Teacher, you will play a central role in supporting learners across the school’s Resource Provision. You will deliver high-quality teaching, create tailored learning plans, collaborate with colleagues and external agencies, and contribute to the wider life of our thriving community school.

This is a rewarding role within a supportive environment where every young person is valued and championed.

Key Responsibilities

Teaching & Learning

• Plan and deliver effective, engaging lessons and learning experiences aligned to national SEND guidance.
• Set assignments, projects, tests and undertake continuous assessment, marking and reporting.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to coordinate and adapt lessons to meet individual needs.
• Organise and develop learning resources suited to pupils’ abilities and interests.
• Use a variety of teaching strategies, group work, practical activities, demonstrations and more to motivate and inspire learners.

Pastoral & Behaviour

• Participate fully in the school’s pastoral programme.
• Establish high expectations for behaviour, creating a safe, respectful environment where pupils take pride in their work.
• Oversee pupil behaviour logs and contribute to positive behaviour support strategies.

SEND & Inclusion

• Create bespoke plans for learners with EHCPs and monitor progress against outcomes.
• Liaise with parents, carers, senior staff and external agencies regarding pupil progress, wellbeing and safeguarding.
• Coordinate sessions with OT, CAL and other specialist services, ensuring effective monitoring and recording.
• Keep up to date with national curriculum developments and SEND policy.

Professional Responsibilities

• Attend meetings, parent evenings, and CPD/inset training.
• Maintain accurate records including registers, attainment data and reports.
• Contribute to departmental schemes of work, resources and curriculum development.
• Deputise for the Assistant Headteacher (SEND & Inclusion) when required.

Wider School Contribution

• Participate in community activities aligned with the ethos of the school.
• Support extra-curricular clubs, events, trips and enrichment opportunities.

What We are Looking For

• A committed practitioner with a passion for SEND and inclusive education.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• The ability to differentiate and personalise learning effectively.
• A reflective, resilient practitioner eager to grow and develop.
• Someone who is dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

We Offer

• A supportive leadership team committed to staff wellbeing.
• Opportunities for professional growth and SEND specific training.
• A warm, inclusive school culture with a strong community ethos.
• The chance to make a transformative impact on the lives of young people.

Join us and help shape brighter futures for our learners.
