Job description

At Park School, you'll have the opportunity to do what great teaching is really about: building relationships, inspiring confidence and helping students achieve things they never thought possible.

We're looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic SEN Teacher to join our specialist team, supporting students with autism and additional needs. With smaller class sizes, a highly supportive environment and the chance to tailor learning to individual students, you'll have the time and flexibility to make a genuine impact every day.

This is a role where progress isn't always measured by exam results alone. It might be a student communicating with confidence, overcoming a challenge, building friendships or taking a significant step towards greater independence. Every achievement matters, and you'll play a key role in helping students reach their potential.

Whether you're an experienced SEN Teacher or a mainstream teacher looking to transition into specialist education, we'd love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver creative, engaging lessons tailored to individual learning needs.
• Inspire, motivate and support students with autism and additional SEND needs.
• Create a positive, inclusive and nurturing learning environment.
• Monitor progress and adapt approaches to ensure every student can succeed.
• Work collaboratively with families, therapists and colleagues to achieve the best outcomes.
• Promote confidence, independence and emotional wellbeing alongside academic development.

Qualifications and Experience

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or equivalent teaching qualification.
• Passionate about helping students overcome barriers to learning.
• Experience of working with SEND students, or a genuine interest in specialist education.
• A creative, adaptable and student-centred approach to teaching.
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills.
• Committed to creating opportunities for every student to thrive.

Whatever your role, joining OFG Education means contributing to our shared ambition: empowering every student to success through truly personalised education.
