About the Role

As an SEN Teacher, you’ll work with learners aged between 7 and 19 in small groups or 1:1, delivering an engaging, flexible curriculum across our Delta House and Concorde House sites with occasional cover at our Mansfield sites. You’ll collaborate closely with Site Lead Teachers to design innovative, multi‑sensory learning experiences that support each child’s individual needs, interests and goals.

 

Your teaching will focus on building confidence, improving engagement and helping learners progress academically, socially and emotionally - all while ensuring their safety, wellbeing and inclusion remain at the heart of everything you do.

 

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Planning, delivering and reviewing personalised learning programmes, including lesson plans and schemes of work
  • Using creative, varied approaches to maximise engagement and meet diverse needs
  • Advocating for young people and involving them in decisions about their learning
  • Ensuring safeguarding, health and safety and risk management procedures are followed at all times
  • Supporting Learning Managers with learner profiles, SEN information, assessments, tracking and progress reports
  • Contributing to subject‑specific curriculum development and improvement plans
  • Maintaining accurate records and reporting to commissioning bodies (e.g., EHCPs, transition planning)
  • Committing to your own professional development and staying up to date with best practice in SEN teaching

What We’re Looking For

  • A teacher who is passionate about SEN education and committed to learner‑centred practice
  • Someone who thrives in a flexible, creative environment
  • A strong communicator who can build positive relationships with learners, families and colleagues
  • A reflective practitioner who is eager to grow, develop and contribute to curriculum improvement

Skills and Experience Required

  • Successful candidates are likely to demonstrate:
  • Qualified Teacher Status
  • SEN Teaching experience preferred
  • Hold a relevant L6 qualification

Our mission is to help every young person re‑engage, rebuild confidence, and reach their full potential.  We achieve this by placing relationships at the very heart of everything we do.  

 

Why Join Us

You’ll be part of a supportive, forward‑thinking team that values creativity, collaboration and the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive.
