• Class sizes are small, with high levels of staff support, making them ideal environments for ECTs to learn, develop, and build strong relationships with learners.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver creative, engaging lessons tailored to the individual needs of students

• Work closely with experienced teaching assistants, SENCOs, and pastoral teams

• Build strong, consistent relationships to support both academic and emotional progress

• Foster inclusive, supportive, and structured classroom environments

• Promote confidence, independence, and emotional regulation through your teaching

What We re Looking For:

• Early Career Teachers (Primary or Secondary trained)

• A passion for inclusion and a desire to support students with additional needs

• A flexible, positive, and resilient attitude

• Excellent communication and behaviour management skills

• Enhanced DBS (Child or Child & Adult Workforce), or willingness to obtain one

What s in It for You:

• Guidance from your dedicated Smart Education consultant

• Access to CPD and specialist SEN training

• Opportunities to complete your ECT induction in SEN or AP settings (where available)
