Job Description:

Join a close-knit specialist secondary school of around 100 students as a SEND Teacher or SEND Teaching Assistant from January 2027.

You will be workong with students who have communication difficulties, complex physical needs, autism or sensory needs, and some may be non-verbal, need personal care or feeding support, or become dysregulated.

Here, behaviour is always viewed as communication. Teachers lead the classroom, planning highly differentiated lessons, directing Teaching Assistants, supporting EHCP outcomes and adapting learning in real time, while Teaching Assistants provide daily routine, personal care and regulation support and build trusting relationships.

You'll work alongside Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists, with a supportive leadership team, Team Teach training, professional development through links with a neighbouring specialist school, and facilities including sensory rooms, rebound therapy and outdoor learning spaces.

The work is demanding, so we're looking for patience, resilience, creativity and a genuine passion for supporting young people with complex needs, and you'll celebrate every small but meaningful achievement.

We are committed to safeguarding children and young people, and all appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
