Empower Young Lives as an SEN Secondary Teacher with Academics

Academics is seeking a resilient and subject-specialist SEN Teacher to join a dedicated provision in South Yorkshire, where your expertise will help secondary-aged learners rediscover their academic potential.

Your Role:

• Deliver Specialist Secondary Education: You will harness your subject knowledge to deliver an adapted secondary curriculum. Your focus will be on breaking down barriers to learning, using a therapeutic approach to teach core subjects in a way that resonates with students who have struggled in mainstream settings.

• Foster a Culture of Achievement: Move beyond behaviour management; your goal is academic re-engagement. You will create a structured, consistent environment where older students feel safe to take academic risks, preparing them for life beyond the classroom through tangible qualifications and skills.

Who We Are Looking For:

• A qualified secondary teacher (QTS) with proven experience navigating the complexities of SEMH, ASD, or challenging behaviours within a Key Stage 3 or 4 setting.

• An authoritative yet compassionate practitioner who understands the nuances of adolescent development and can maintain high academic expectations while offering emotional support.

• An educator who finds deep satisfaction in helping disengaged teenagers build resilience, confidence, and a clear pathway toward their future.

Essential Requirements:

• An up-to-date Enhanced DBS check on the Update Service, or a firm commitment to obtaining one immediately.

• Robust professional references that speak directly to your effectiveness in managing secondary-aged pupils with additional needs.

What's In It For You?

• Specialist Focus: Step into a role designed specifically for a secondary practitioner. You will work within a school that understands the unique demands of teaching older students with SEN, offering resources and support tailored to that mission.

• Competitive Pay: Attractive daily rates that reflect the specialist skills and resilience required to excel in a secondary SEN environment.
