- Monitoring progress and contributing to individual learning plans
- Working closely with Teaching Assistants and the wider specialist team
- Supporting pupils to develop confidence, independence and preparation-for-adulthood skills
Why Consider the Role?

You can expect:
- £150-£240 per day, depending on experience
- Full-time Monday-Friday, during school hours
- Dedicated time within the school day for planning and preparation
- Training and professional development opportunities
- A supportive and specialist teaching environment
- Temp-to-perm opportunities for teachers who want a permanent position
- An impressive school with a strong reputation
- Free on-site parking

- The opportunity to gain valuable specialist SEND experience
Who We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in teachers who are:
- QTS qualified
- Passionate about teaching and supporting young people
- Patient, adaptable and enthusiastic
- Confident differentiating learning
- Interested in developing their SEND experience
