About the Role

At Barton School, you'll have the opportunity to change lives every day. Through engaging, personalised teaching, you'll help children and young people with additional needs unlock their potential, grow in confidence and achieve outcomes they never thought possible.

This is far more than a teaching role. It's a chance to be part of a specialist school where relationships are at the heart of everything we do, small class sizes enable truly individualised learning, and you have the time, support and flexibility to make a real difference.

Working alongside a dedicated multidisciplinary team, you'll create a calm, inclusive and nurturing environment where students feel safe to take risks, overcome challenges and develop a genuine love of learning. Every milestone matters, every success is celebrated, and every day brings new opportunities to inspire and empower young people.

Whether you're an experienced SEN Teacher or looking to bring your teaching expertise into specialist education, you'll join a welcoming and collaborative team that values innovation, professional growth and the life-changing impact great teachers can have. Here, you'll see the difference you make every single day.

What Youll Do

• Plan and deliver engaging, personalised lessons that inspire students and enable them to achieve meaningful progress.
• Adapt teaching to meet a wide range of learning needs, supporting students academically, socially and emotionally.
• Develop and review Individual Education Plans (IEPs), behaviour plans and personalised learning pathways.
• Monitor, assess and celebrate student progress, using assessment to inform future learning.
• Promote positive behaviour through nurturing, relationship-based approaches that build confidence and resilience.
• Work collaboratively with Learning Support Assistants, therapists, families and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide consistent, holistic support.
• Create a safe, stimulating and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and able to succeed.
• Champion safeguarding and student wellbeing, ensuring every child has the opportunity to flourish.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• Has experience working with children or young people with SEN, SEMH or complex needs.
• Is creative, patient and adaptable, with the ability to build strong, trusting relationships.
• Is passionate about inclusive education and committed to helping every student reach their full potential.
• Thrives as part of a collaborative team and is keen to continue developing professionally.
