Maintaining a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere, promoting self-confidence and academic curiosity
Providing consistent feedback to pupils, parents, and senior staff on progress and areas for improvement

Fully Qualified Teacher status (QTS)
Experience working in primary education, preferably with a background in SEN teaching
Knowledge and understanding of SEN with an ability to adapt teaching methods to support a range of abilities and needs
Solid behaviour management skills, with a calm and proactive approach
Ability to work independently, while also collaborating effectively with the wider SEN team
Empathy and patience, with a genuine passion for working with students with special educational needs
Strong organisational skills and ability to plan lessons with clear learning objectives
Desirable:
Experience working with students who are academically gifted but have additional learning needs
Primary teaching experience, ideally in a KS2 setting
Experience with SEN-specific resources and teaching strategies
What We Offer:
A supportive and inclusive school community with an excellent SEN department
Opportunities for professional development and training
A welcoming and dynamic environment with a strong focus on student well-being
Term-time employment with generous holiday breaks
This role is an exciting opportunity for a primary-trained teacher looking to make a positive impact on the education of high-ability students with SEN. If you have the skills, experience, and passion for making a difference, we would love to hear from you.
