About their organisation

Our client is a national charity supporting children, young people, and adults with complex needs. Their newly developed Sixth Form offers a unique and specialised learning environment for young people aged 16–19 with a wide range of learning difficulties, disabilities, and health conditions, including epilepsy and autism.

They provide bespoke education and transition support that equips their learners with the skills, confidence, and independence they need for adulthood. It’s a calm, structured, and aspirational environment where meaningful learning takes place every day.

They are proud to be a values-led organisation — aspirational, collaborative, joyful, and compassionate — and they're looking for a talented teacher who shares their commitment to helping young people live life to the full.

About the Role

Following the successful launch of our brand new Sixth Form in September, they are seeking exceptional SEN Teachers to join their Sixth Form team to support their increasing admissions as the service continues to grow. In their newly renovated building, purpose built to meet the individual needs of their learners, you will lead a small group of learners with complex profiles, supporting them in the development of academic, life, and employability skills within a highly individualised curriculum.

This is a fantastic opportunity to deliver purposeful, person-centred education in a nurturing and well-resourced setting with each learner having a minimum of 1-1 support. Whether you come from a special or mainstream background, if you’re ready to teach with heart and purpose, they'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

• Deliver tailored teaching and learning to meet a wide spectrum of needs — from pre-entry to Entry Level and Functional Skills
• Promote independence and real-world skills in line with EHCP outcomes
• Work closely with Learning Support Assistants and therapy teams to provide holistic support
• Create an inclusive and motivating environment that prepares learners for life beyond education
• Track, assess, and report on progress toward academic, personal, and vocational goals
