Teaching Personnel are currently looking for mainstream teachers who may be interested in trying teaching within a special needs setting. As a Teacher, do you plan lessons to your students learning levels? Do you provide emotional support as well as academic? Have you taught a class in which you have has a student with learning difficulties? Have you managed students with challenging behaviour? The answer to all these questions will be yes! And an SEN setting is no different!
In a specialist setting you will have small class sizes allowing you to focus your attention on each individual student and support from LSA's who tend to work 1:1 with each student in the class allowing you to make a real difference.
We provide an opportunity for Teachers to dip their toe in the water and see if teaching in an SEN setting is really for you. We already have strong relationships with SEN Provisions in your area and can support your transition from mainstream to SEN with flexible working, no need to commit to one school for the academic year and a range of specific CPD opportunities including behaviour management training (team teach).
In an SEN school you will not only be supported by the senior leadership team but also specialist within the school such as therapy, nursing and multi-sensory teams.
