We are looking for an experienced SEN teacher who has secure knowledge of supporting young people with SLD working at early developmental levels of learning.

Our school offers children and young people a small, nurturing environment where they are enabled to engage positively with their learning.

This compliments our bespoke approach to the holistic development of our students; academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are looking for passionate, innovative and enthusiastic teachers to complement our team who:

• Have high expectations and a commitment to providing the best possible education for all children and young people.
• Are excellent classroom practitioners with the ability to create innovative learning experiences.
• Have the ability to make adaptions to teaching methods and approaches so that all children and young people are engaged and challenged with functional and developmentally appropriate targets.
• Have the ability to be flexible, dynamic, well organised, and be willing to reflect on your own practice.
• Have experience in supporting children and young people with autism and learning difficulties as well as vulnerable children (those who might be looked after), by delivering individualised programmes of education, tailored to the needs of each student.
• Work well as part of the team and inspire and support other staff

• Free access to 5 caravans throughout the UK for a personal holiday
• Funded DBS check
• Refer a friend scheme – refer a friend to come join the New Reflexions team and earn a £500 bonus per referral or £1,000 for a qualified referral.
• Free confidential employee assistance programme and app.
• Access and reimbursement of the Blue Light discount card scheme
• Bike-to-work scheme
• Workplace pension and Sick pay
• Access to the Training Hub with 800 care sector-specific specialist online subjects; CPD accredited & certificated.

We would particularly welcome applications from teachers who have previous experience of working with students with autism, LD, MLD, complex needs, and behaviours that challenge. The post will require the successful applicant to demonstrate high levels of emotional resilience and a calm, positive approach when dealing with behaviour.

You will be working alongside a small supportive team and receive quality training and support.
