Job description

Teach South seeks a committed SEN Teacher for a specialist school in Bournemouth, offering £34,069 annually on a full-time contract. The successful candidate will support pupils with additional learning needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Responsibilities include planning tailored lessons, managing individual education plans, and fostering an inclusive classroom where every learner progresses. Strong behaviour management, patience, and adaptability are essential. Mainstream teachers keen to move into special education are warmly invited to apply, as the school values fresh perspectives. This position suits someone dedicated to helping young people overcome barriers and achieve their potential within a supportive setting.

Teach South is supporting a specialist SEN school in Bournemouth in recruiting a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic SEN Teacher to join their team and make a real difference to the lives of young people with additional learning needs.

This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is committed to inclusive education and helping every pupil reach their full potential.

The school supports pupils with a range of additional learning difficulties and needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Importantly, the school strongly encourages applications from mainstream teachers who are looking to take the next step in their teaching career and explore the rewarding world of special educational needs education.

Previous SEN experience is desirable but a genuine passion for supporting pupils with additional needs, alongside a willingness to learn and adapt, is equally valued.

The Role

Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to pupils' individual learning needs and abilities. Support pupils with SEMH, ASD and a range of additional learning difficulties. Create a positive, nurturing and structured learning environment where pupils feel safe, supported and encouraged to succeed. Adapt teaching approaches and resources to meet a range of educational, emotional and behavioural needs. Work collaboratively with support staff, colleagues and families to promote pupils' progress, wellbeing and development. Encourage confidence, independence, positive behaviour and a love of learning.

The Ideal Candidate

Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification. Has a genuine passion for helping children and young people overcome barriers to learning. Is patient, resilient, adaptable and confident in building positive relationships with pupils. Can differentiate lessons and adapt teaching strategies to meet individual needs. Is committed to creating an inclusive, supportive and engaging classroom environment. Has experience working with SEN pupils, or is a mainstream teacher keen to develop their skills within a specialist setting.

Why Apply?

A rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference to pupils' lives. The chance to develop specialist skills and broaden your teaching experience. A supportive school environment with a focus on pupil progress, wellbeing and individual achievement. An opportunity for mainstream teachers to transition into SEN education with the right support and guidance.

Teach South is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and appropriate safeguarding and reference checks.
