• Collaborating with the wider school team to make a real impact

You’ll be great if you:

• Hold QTS or are an ECT with SEND placement experience

• Have taught across Primary, Secondary, or vocational subjects

• Know your way around behaviour support (Team Teach training? Even better!)

• Are confident teaching in SEND schools, PRUs, or alternative provisions

• Understand how to support pupils with Autism, SEMH, ADHD, or complex needs

• Can commute between sites and bring consistency to your teaching
