The SEN Teacher Job
A large special needs (SEN) school based in Hammersmith and Fulham, West London is seeking an SEN Teacher with recent SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties) experience to join their team as soon as possible. Ideally, the successful SEN Teacher applicant will have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and experience teaching in an SEN environment</strong>; however, the leadership team will consider a Primary Trained Teacher with a passion for Special Educational Needs, strong UK-based references, and a proactive "can-do" attitude.
The SEN Teacher Role
The successful SEN Teacher applicant will lead a mixed KS1 class (6 pupils) with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). Most pupils have Complex Needs, including additional medical and sensory needs and physical impairments. The class consists of 6 pupils working at P levels</strong>; consequently, knowledge of the EYFS curriculum or the Engagement Model would be advantageous. Much of the work as the SEN Teacher will focus on a sensory-based curriculum with a priority on developing social and communication skills. The successful applicant will be line managing two friendly Teaching Assistants (TAs) and working towards targets outlined in each pupil's EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan). Experience with PECS and Makaton is advantageous, though specialist training is available.
The Ideal SEN Teacher
The successful SEN Teacher candidate will be flexible, with the ability to commute to Hammersmith and Fulham, use their own initiative, and inspire the class team. Experience in Special Schools or working with pupils with SLD/PMLD is an advantage, but the school's priority is to appoint a dedicated teacher who is a conscientious colleague. They are happy to provide CPD and training for an excellent practitioner with a passion for inclusion but limited prior SEN experience.
Progress with these pupils is measured in small steps, so patience, a caring nature, and a holistic pupil centred development ethos are essential.
