Key Stage 3 Teacher

Shape Futures Through Creative SEND Education

A remarkable specialist setting in Wiltshire is seeking an imaginative and enthusiastic KS3 Teacher to join their permanent staff team.

Teaching Personnel are proud to support this recruitment campaign for a provision that places inclusion, independence and emotional development at the centre of everything they do.

This role offers the opportunity to teach secondary-aged pupils following a semi-formal curriculum tailored to a wide range of complex learning profiles.

The successful applicant will inspire confidence, encourage resilience and create engaging educational experiences that prepare learners for adulthood.

The school environment is unlike a traditional mainstream setting. Surrounded by extensive outdoor spaces and therapeutic learning areas, pupils benefit from practical exploration, sensory integration and highly personalised teaching approaches.

Staff are trusted to innovate, adapt and think beyond conventional classroom practice.

You will plan and deliver differentiated lessons which support communication, functional learning and emotional growth. The role also involves pastoral responsibilities as a class tutor, helping pupils build self-belief, social understanding and independence.

Strong behaviour management skills are essential, alongside the ability to create safe and predictable routines for pupils who may struggle with regulation, anxiety or communication barriers. The school values creativity, patience and reflective practice above rigid teaching methods.

This opportunity would suit experienced SEND practitioners as well as ECTs eager to develop within specialist education. Staff benefit from excellent mentorship, ongoing CPD and a collaborative culture where ideas and innovation are encouraged.
