• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

Desirable:

• Additional qualifications or training in Special Educational Needs (e.g., NASENCo, or a postgraduate certificate/diploma in SEN).

• Experience with specific teaching methodologies or interventions for SEN (e.g., PECS, Makaton, Team Teach).

• Experience in a specialist SEN school setting.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and the school's pay scale (e.g., Main Pay Range to Upper Pay Scale, plus SEN allowance).

• A profound opportunity to make a tangible and lasting difference in young people's lives.

• A supportive, collaborative, and dedicated team environment within a specialist school.
