Job Description:

SEN Teacher
September 2026 Start | Full-Time | Long-Term

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and enthusiastic SEN Teacher to join a school in Brent from September 2026.

The successful SEN teacher will take responsibility for a small KS3/KS4 class of 9 pupils across Years 6-10, all of whom have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some pupils may also display behaviours that require a calm, consistent and supportive approach.

Within the class, 3 pupils require 1:1 support. The teacher will work alongside 2 classroom support staff, with an additional member of support staff providing dedicated 1:1 support.

This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about SEND and enjoys delivering highly personalised learning within a well-supported specialist environment.

The Role:

• Teaching a class of 9 pupils with ASD across Years 6-10
• Planning, preparing and delivering engaging lessons appropriate to individual learning needs
• Differentiating and adapting the curriculum to ensure learning is accessible
• Assessing, monitoring and recording pupil progress
• Working closely with support staff to ensure pupils receive consistent and effective support
• Supporting pupils who may display behaviours that challenge
• Creating a structured, positive and inclusive classroom environment
• Supporting pupils' academic, communication, social and emotional development
• Working towards individual targets and EHCP outcomes
• Building positive and trusting relationships with pupils

The Ideal SEN Teacher Will:

• Hold QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
• Have experience working with pupils with ASD and/or other special educational needs
• Be confident planning, preparing and assessing learning
• Have strong differentiation and curriculum-adaptation skills
• Be able to manage behaviour calmly and consistently
• Understand the importance of structure and routine for pupils with ASD
• Be patient, resilient and adaptable
• Be confident directing and working collaboratively with classroom support staff
• Be passionate about improving outcomes for pupils with SEND

Previous experience within a specialist SEN school would be highly desirable; however, teachers with relevant mainstream SEND experience who are looking to move into a specialist setting are also encouraged to apply.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established specialist school and work with a small class where you can provide personalised teaching and make a meaningful impact on pupils' progress and development.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and relevant pre-employment checks.

Apply today to be considered for this SEN Teacher opportunity for September 2026.
