Job description

SEN Primary Teacher - Near Fordham & Surrounding Areas

Are you a passionate, nurturing, and creative Primary Teacher looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children with additional needs? Whether you thrive on the variety and complete flexibility of day-to-day supply, or are seeking the rewarding continuity and connection of a long-term position, we have fantastic opportunities tailored to your availability.

We are currently partnering with supportive specialist SEN provisions, inclusion bases, and alternative learning environments near Fordham and across East Cambridgeshire. We are experiencing strong demand for empathetic Primary Teachers to engage learners who benefit from adapted, sensory-aware, and highly differentiated approaches to education.

Whether you are an experienced SEN specialist, a mainstream Primary Teacher looking to transition to smaller class sizes, or an enthusiastic ECT keen to build vital experience within inclusive education, we can help find your ideal placement.

Choose Your Ideal Way of Working:

• Day-to-Day Supply: Enjoy total control over your schedule with complete flexibility. Choose the exact days you want to work to balance personal commitments or family life while gaining experience across different specialist primary settings near Fordham.
• Long-Term Opportunities: For those who value routine and building deep, lasting relationships with learners and staff, we offer long-term placements spanning a term or a full academic year. These roles allow you to track developmental progress, lead targeted interventions, and often lead to permanent contracts.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver creative, sensory-rich, and differentiated primary learning activities tailored to individual abilities and developmental stages (EYFS to KS2).
• Support children with diverse special educational needs, such as Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Moderate/Severe Learning Difficulties (MLD/SLD), Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), and SEMH.
• Foster a calm, predictable, and supportive classroom environment that nurtures emotional regulation, confidence, and independence.
• Lead and collaborate effectively with a dedicated team of classroom Teaching Assistants to implement individual Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
• Utilize positive behaviour support, visual aids (e.g., PECS, visual timetables), and gentle de-escalation techniques to support positive learning experiences.

What We Look For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS, EYTS, or equivalent recognized UK teaching qualification).
• Proven experience teaching within Early Years, Key Stage 1, or Key Stage 2; experience within an SEN school, resource base, and complex needs setting is highly advantageous, but a genuine passion for inclusive education is essential.
• A patient, warm, and resilient approach with strong classroom management and rapport-building skills.
• The ability to adapt the primary curriculum creatively to engage pupils with complex or non-linear learning profiles.
• A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or willingness to complete one).

Benefits of Working With Us:

• Competitive daily rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level.
• A dedicated local consultant with established relationships across specialist provisions and schools in and around Fordham.
• Complete flexibility to set and manage your availability via our user-friendly booking app.
• Direct pathways into long-term contracts, maternity covers, and permanent positions.
• Access to ongoing CPD, safeguarding updates, and specialised training modules.
• Generous 'Refer a Friend' scheme offering shopping vouchers (terms apply).
