Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday

Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only

UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

We now have a fantastic opportunity for an SEN Teacher to join our close-knit team at Wessex Lodge School, part of Acorn Education.

About The Role

As a dynamic and motivated qualified teacher, you already have a passion for making a difference in the lives of pupils. In this role, you will have every opportunity to live up to this ambition, responding to the needs of individuals with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs, helping them flourish and thrive.

You will plan and deliver engaging learning daily, developing exciting and innovative methods that stimulate interest and excitement in the classroom. Working as a Teacher with us is not your average teaching role. At Outcomes First Group, you can work creatively, making the most of all the extensive resources and expert support available.

You will observe, monitor, and assess our students, ensuring their personal development and wellbeing are as important as the academic curriculum.

Who We Are Looking For

You will be a passionate teacher and a great communicator, comfortable talking to pupils with autism, learning difficulties, and complex needs, as well as contributing to the school’s vision and direction.

Our schools are unique environments, each with its own atmosphere and range of opportunities and resources. Our teachers enjoy becoming part of their school’s ‘family’, exploring the potential of the building and environment, and getting to know our pupils.

You will enjoy building caring relationships and liaising with fellow professionals, whether colleagues in the same school or previous educational establishments.
