KS1 Teacher – SEN & SEMH Settings
September 2026 Start
Tradewind Recruitment
Tradewind Recruitment are currently seeking passionate and dedicated KS1 Teachers to work within our partner SEN and SEMH schools from September 2026.
We are working closely with a range of specialist provisions that support children with additional needs, including Autism, ADHD, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, speech and language difficulties, and other learning barriers. These rewarding roles provide an excellent opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young learners while working within supportive and well-resourced environments.
As a KS1 Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering engaging and differentiated lessons tailored to meet the individual needs of pupils. You will create a nurturing and inclusive classroom environment, support pupils' academic and personal development, and work collaboratively with support staff, parents, and external professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for every child.
We welcome applications from experienced KS1 Teachers, ECTs, and mainstream teachers looking to transition into specialist education. Previous experience working within SEN or SEMH settings is desirable but not essential; a positive attitude, resilience, and a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs are key.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
- Experience teaching within Key Stage 1
- Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
- A flexible and nurturing approach to teaching
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
- An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one)
In return, Tradewind Recruitment offers:
- Access to a wide range of long-term and permanent opportunities
- Competitive rates of pay
- Free and accredited CPD courses, including SEND and behaviour management training
- A dedicated consultant to support you throughout your placement
- Flexible opportunities to suit your career goals
