About the Role

An established and supportive SEN school in Stoke-on-Trent is seeking a dedicated and compassionate SEN Teacher to join their team from March. This is a full-time position working with learners aged 6–19, delivering tailored education to pupils with a range of additional needs.

• Create a safe, inclusive, and positive learning environment.
• Work closely with support staff to implement EHCP targets and personalised strategies.
• Use creative teaching methods to support communication, emotional regulation, and life skills development.
• Build strong relationships with pupils, families, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Monitor and record progress, ensuring accurate reporting and assessments.

Requirements

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.
• Experience working in an SEN setting is highly desirable, but strong mainstream experience with a passion for SEN will also be considered.
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills.
• Adaptable, resilient, and committed to supporting young people with diverse needs.
• Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to obtain one).

What the School Offers

• A welcoming and collaborative staff team.
• Ongoing CPD and opportunities for development in SEN specialisms.
• Well-resourced classrooms and excellent multi-disciplinary support.
• Potential for the role to extend beyond the initial 4-month period.
