Primary SEND Teacher

Salary: £32,000 - £42,000

Employment Type: Permanent, Full-time (Monday - Friday, 08:15-16:00)

Are you a dedicated educator driven by the belief that every learner deserves a pathway to independence? We are seeking a Primary SEND Teacher to join our inclusive education community, specifically working with pupils across KS1 and KS2 with a spectrum of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

This role is about more than classroom delivery; it is about being the architect of a child's success. You will deliver a broad and balanced curriculum with a strong focus on phonics, reading, and maths, while embedding communication and emotional regulation into every part of the school day to prepare pupils for their transition to KS3.

Benefits:

• Access to comprehensive induction and ongoing training in SEN awareness, first aid, and safeguarding.
• Join a team driven by a shared purpose and continuous improvement within an expanding network.
• Enjoy a term-time working pattern with competitive holiday pay.
• Opportunities for advancement across our growing transport and care divisions.

Responsibilities:

• Design and review learning programmes aligned to EHCP outcomes, adapting environment and pace to meet diverse SEND profiles.

• Create a calm, structured learning environment using consistent routines, visual supports, and nurture-informed practice.
• Identify barriers to learning and maintain detailed records of progress, using data to inform precise next steps for academic and personal development.
• Work closely with therapists (SaLT, OT) and support staff to ensure communication and regulation strategies are implemented consistently.
• Act as a key contributor to Annual Reviews and EHCP processes, working in partnership with parents and carers to celebrate every "small win."

Requirements:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a recognised degree, with evidence of ongoing professional development.

• Proven track record in KS1/KS2, adapting teaching for sensory, communication, SEMH, and cognitive needs.
• Strong understanding of positive behaviour support, trauma-informed practice, and EHCP frameworks.
• Ability to write high-quality IEPs and communicate professionally with families and multi-agency professionals.
• (Desirable): Training in AAC, phonics interventions, or specialist approaches related to ASD and complex needs.

Even if you don't meet every single criterion listed, if you are a resilient individual with a genuine passion for supporting students and a willingness to learn, we would still love to hear from you.
