Primary Teacher

Are you a passionate Primary Teacher looking for a role where you can make a lasting impact on children's lives?

We are seeking dedicated and compassionate Primary Teachers to join specialist SEN schools, supporting pupils with a range of additional needs including Autism, Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Speech and Language Needs, and other complex learning needs.

This is an opportunity to use your creativity, patience, and teaching expertise to help every child reach their individual potential in a supportive and rewarding environment.

The Role

As a Primary Teacher within an SEN setting, you will:

• Deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to individual learning needs

• Create a nurturing and inclusive classroom environment

• Support pupils' academic, social, emotional, and communication development

• Adapt teaching strategies to maximise engagement and progress

• Work closely with Teaching Assistants, therapists, and wider support teams

• Develop personalised learning plans and monitor pupil progress

• Celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small

Why Move Into SEN Education?

SEN teaching offers the opportunity to focus on truly individualised learning. Smaller class sizes, enhanced support, and a child-centred approach allow you to build meaningful relationships and make a genuine difference to pupils who need it most.

Many successful SEN teachers come from mainstream primary backgrounds, bringing with them strong classroom practice, creativity, adaptability, and a passion for helping children succeed.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) 

• Experience teaching within a primary school setting

• Strong understanding of the primary curriculum

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• A patient, flexible, and positive approach

• A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs

• Previous SEN experience is desirable but not essential

What You'll Receive

• Smaller class sizes and high levels of classroom support

• Ongoing SEN training and professional development

• Opportunities to work alongside specialist therapists and professionals

• Supportive leadership and collaborative staff teams

• A highly rewarding role where you can see the direct impact of your work every day

Whether you're an experienced SEN teacher or a mainstream Primary Teacher looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
