About the Role

We are working with a well-established SEN school in Stoke-on-Trent seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teacher to join their team immediately.

• Maintain clear communication with parents/carers and external agencies where required.

• Strong classroom management and differentiation skills.
• A genuine passion for supporting students with special educational needs.

What’s on Offer

• Immediate start in a supportive SEN school environment.
