SEND Teacher

Teacher – Specialist SEND Provision (County Durham)

I’m currently supporting a specialist provision in County Durham that is seeking a dedicated and passionate teacher to join their team this academic year.

This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher with experience or a strong interest in:

• SEND
• Reading & phonics
• Primary teaching
• Key Stage 3 teaching

The Role

We are looking for a QTS-qualified teacher to deliver English, reading and phonics to a neurodivergent SEND class who are KS4 age. This group would particularly benefit from someone with a nurturing, primary-focused approach, or experience teaching at Key Stage 3.

Alongside leading the main class, responsibilities will include:

• Delivering reading sessions to other classes
• Overseeing and administering reading assessments and tests

The Setting

The role is based within a PRU (Pupil Referral Unit). Experience in a similar setting is highly desirable, as is a strong understanding of PRU environments. The successful candidate will be proactive, resilient, and confident in supporting pupils with a range of complex needs.

Role Details

• Full-time
• 1-year temporary post
• Strong potential to transition into a permanent position
• Start date: within this academic year (TBC)

If you’re interested or would like more information, please get in touch ASAP to discuss the opportunity further.
