Teaching the Whole Child: Impact Beyond the National Curriculum

We are seeking Qualified Primary Teachers (QTS) who are passionate about special education. Whether you are an experienced SEND practitioner or a Mainstream teacher looking to transition into the rewarding world of specialist provisions, this role offers the chance to deliver a highly creative, child-centred curriculum.

• Creative Autonomy: Move away from rigid SATs preparation and focus on sensory-rich, engagement-based learning that meets the specific needs of your pupils.

• Specialist Career Development: Gain expertise in leading an EHCP-led classroom, working with multidisciplinary teams of therapists and specialists.
• Weekly Pay: Competitive daily rates of £140 - £233, paid every Friday via Randstad.

Your Role as a Primary SEND Lead

As a Primary SEND Teacher, you are responsible for creating a nurturing, structured, and safe world where foundational learning can take place.

• Bespoke Lesson Delivery: Adapt the Primary curriculum into sensory stories, practical \"Life Skills\" sessions, and play-based learning that aligns with each student's EHCP targets.
• Communication Leadership: Utilise total communication environments-incorporating Makaton, PECS, and Colourful Semantics-to ensure every child can express themselves.
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Liaise with Speech and Language Therapists (SLT), Occupational Therapists (OT), and Physios to integrate therapeutic goals into the daily school routine.
• Team Leadership: Manage and inspire a team of LSAs/TAs, ensuring a consistent and \"low-arousal\" approach to classroom and behaviour management.

Essential Requirements

We are looking for patient, imaginative teachers who can build deep rapport with children and their families. You are an ideal fit if you:

• Hold QTS: You have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and experience within a Primary setting (EYFS/KS1/KS2).
• Are a SEND Advocate: You have a genuine interest in or experience with Autism (ASC), PMLD, SLD, or SEMH, and a belief in the \"unlimited potential\" of every child.
• Are Highly Adaptable: You can pivot your lesson plan in seconds to meet the emotional or sensory needs of your students.
• Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS on the update service (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding.
