The Role

As the SEND Teacher, you will take responsibility for the planning, delivery and assessment of learning for a small group of pupils with a range of complex needs. You will work closely with the two TAs in the room and collaborate with the wider school and specialist professionals to ensure that each pupil receives the appropriate support.

The role will suit someone who understands that progress in a nurture setting can look different for every child and who is able to adapt their teaching to meet individual needs.

• Maintain high expectations while recognising each pupil's individual starting point.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who is:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.

• Experienced in, or passionate about, working with pupils with SEND.

• Ideally experienced within a nurture, specialist, SEMH or complex-needs setting.

• Patient, resilient and emotionally intelligent.

• Able to build strong and trusting relationships with pupils.

• Confident in adapting the curriculum and using a range of teaching approaches.

• A strong team player who can work effectively with TAs and other professionals.

• Committed to ensuring every pupil has the opportunity to succeed.

What the School Offers

• A small class of only six pupils.

• Two dedicated Teaching Assistants working within the provision.

• A supportive and collaborative school environment.

• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to pupils with complex needs.

• Access to professional development and support.
