• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Partner with families, therapists, and wider multidisciplinary teams to support holistic pupil progress and transition planning.


• Leadership & Mentoring: Mentor and coach teaching staff to foster a culture of continuous school-wide improvement.


• Environment & Culture: Maintain the highest standards of classroom management, sensory regulation, safeguarding, and child protection.

Person Specification

• Qualifications: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) paired with strong subject knowledge and evidence of ongoing professional development.


• SEND Experience: Proven background teaching across Years 7–14 in a specialist SEND setting, with deep knowledge of child-centred pedagogy, sensory regulation, and adaptive teaching.


• Soft Skills: A flexible, patient, and collaborative team player with excellent communication skills and high expectations for every pupil's potential.


• Leadership Experience: Prior experience leading or mentoring educational colleagues is highly desirable.
