Job description

SEN Primary Teacher – Truro / Falmouth Area

Full-Time | Planning & Marking Included | Immediate / Post‑Easter Start

Are you an inspiring Primary Teacher with a passion for supporting children with additional needs?
Do you thrive in nurturing, inclusive environments where every small step is celebrated?
Looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact every single day?

Teaching Personnel are working closely with a specialist provision in the Truro / Falmouth area, who are seeking a dedicated and motivated SEN Primary Teacher to join their team. This is a full‑time position with planning and marking included, offering stability and fulfilment for the rest of the academic year.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a teacher who truly cares about pupil-centred learning and wants to work in a supportive, well-staffed environment.


About the Role

You will be teaching a small group of primary-aged pupils with a range of SEN needs, including:

  • Autism (ASC)
  • Communication and interaction needs
  • Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges
  • Cognitive learning differences

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering tailored learning based on the set curriculum
  • Creating a calm, structured, and positive classroom environment
  • Working closely with a highly supportive team of TAs and SEN specialists
  • Using creative approaches to engage pupils and build confidence
  • Tracking progress and adapting plans to suit individual needs

This is a highly collaborative provision where you will never be working alone — the class benefits from excellent staffing ratios and strong leadership.


Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be a fantastic fit if you are:

  • A qualified teacher (QTS required)
  • Experienced in SEN or confident adapting your practice to meet additional needs
  • Patient, resilient, and committed to inclusive education
  • Positive, proactive, and able to build trusting relationships
  • Looking for a fulfilling, long‑term role where you can genuinely make a difference

Mainstream primary teachers with an interest in SEN are strongly encouraged to apply — the team are supportive and offer a warm induction.


Why Work Through Teaching Personnel?

  • Weekly pay based on your experience
  • A full‑time, stable placement through to the end of the academic year
  • A dedicated consultant (me!) supporting you throughout
  • Access to specialist SEN training through our CPD Academy
  • Quick and supportive registration process
  • Opportunities to continue in September if you thrive in the role

You’ll be joining a school where staff feel valued, supported and appreciated for the work they do.
