SEN Teacher (ASC / PMLD Specialist)

We’re working with a specialist SEN school in Greenford that supports pupils with ASC and PMLD, and they’re looking for a teacher who genuinely understands what that looks like day to day.

This isn’t a “light SEN” setting. Most pupils are pre-verbal, have high sensory needs, and require a calm, consistent and structured approach.

The role

• Leading a small class of pupils with complex needs
• Delivering sensory-based, highly personalised learning
• Working closely with a strong team of TAs and therapists
• Creating a calm, predictable environment where pupils can engage and feel safe
• Adapting your approach constantly based on each child’s needs

What they’re looking for

• Experience in ASC and/or PMLD settings (this is essential)
• Confidence working with non-verbal learners
• Someone steady, patient and not easily phased
• Strong classroom leadership — you’ll be directing support staff day to day
• A genuine interest in this area of SEN (not just general SEN experience)

Not suitable for ECTs
Best suited to teachers up to M3

What the school is like

• Well-structured and organised — not a chaotic setting
• Clear expectations around behaviour and engagement
• Staff who understand the pupils and work well as a team
• They value consistency and keep good staff

Why this role

• You’ll be properly supported — not left to figure things out
• Opportunity to build something long-term if it’s the right fit
• A setting where good teachers are recognised quickly
• Chance to work with pupils where your input genuinely makes a difference day to day

Next steps
