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.

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.

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.
