Teach Where It Matters Most

We’re looking for an inspiring and adaptable SEN Teacher to join a fantastic specialist school supporting children and young people with a range of additional needs — including autism, complex learning difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs.

If you’re the kind of teacher who celebrates small steps, values connection over perfection, and knows that communication comes in many forms — you’ll fit right in here.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Planning and delivering creative, personalised lessons to meet diverse learning needs
• Working closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and families to support holistic progress
• Using tailored strategies and sensory resources to engage and motivate pupils
• Creating a positive, inclusive classroom environment that celebrates every achievement
• Tracking progress and contributing to EHCP targets and reviews

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience teaching pupils with SEND (ASD, PMLD, SLD, or SEMH)
• A flexible, nurturing approach and strong behaviour management skills
• A team player with patience, empathy, and a good sense of humour
• A passion for inclusive education and supporting every learner to succeed

Whether you’re an experienced SEN specialist or a mainstream teacher ready to make the move into special education, this role offers the chance to make a genuine impact every single day.

Why Join Protocol Education?

• Weekly pay through PAYE (no umbrella companies)
• FREE access to our online CPD Academy
• Specialist SEN consultant support throughout your placement
• Opportunities to complete Thrive and other SEND-specific training
• Long-term and permanent roles in schools that truly value their staff
