Job description

North West/ temporary / £120 - 180 per day

We are currently seeking a passionate, dedicated and resilient SEND Teacher to join one of our partner schools in Kirkby, starting as soon as possible and continuing until the Christmas break.

The successful candidate will be working within the upper classes of the school's specialist SEND base, supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, including Autism, ADHD and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a teacher who understands that building positive relationships is at the heart of successful SEND practice.

The Role

Teaching and supporting pupils within the upper classes of the SEND base.

Supporting children with Autism, ADHD and challenging behaviours.

Building strong, trusting and individual relationships with pupils.

Understanding each pupil's individual needs, triggers and communication styles.

Using proactive, nurturing and consistent approaches to prevent dysregulation and support emotional regulation.

Creating a safe, structured and positive learning environment where every pupil feels understood and supported.

Adapting learning and expectations to meet the individual needs and abilities of pupils.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who:

Has experience working within a SEND setting, ideally with pupils with Autism and ADHD.

Has a strong understanding of behaviour as a form of communication.

Is confident supporting pupils who may display challenging or dysregulated behaviours.

Can build meaningful relationships with pupils on an individual basis.

Is patient, empathetic, resilient and consistent in their approach.

Understands the importance of identifying triggers and using proactive strategies to prevent escalation.

Can create an engaging, nurturing and inclusive learning environment.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is relationship-led, rather than behaviour-led, and who can take the time to understand each child as an individual.

What We Offer

An immediate start in a supportive school environment.

A placement until the Christmas break.

The opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of pupils with additional needs.

Support from a dedicated education recruitment team.

If you are a passionate SEND Teacher who can bring patience, understanding, consistency and a relationship-first approach to the classroom, we would love to hear from you!
