The school is looking for a dedicated Primary SEND Teacher to join their team full-time from September 2025. This role is about more than teaching—it’s about building trust, offering consistency and finding creative ways to help every child connect with learning.

What you’ll need: • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in the UK • Experience teaching primary-aged pupils with SEND • Confidence in adapting lessons to suit a range of learning styles and needs • A collaborative mindset – you’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team • A good understanding of communication and behaviour support strategies We’d love to hear from teachers who are: • Empathetic and patient – able to provide calm, consistent support • Creative and flexible – ready to tailor learning in the moment • Observant – able to spot what helps a pupil thrive and determine if any changes to existing methods need to take place • Team players – who work well with others and value shared insight This is a long-term, full-time role with the potential to become permanent. If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, please send your CV and a short statement about why this role interests you.
