They are looking for a teacher who is confident in delivering engaging, differentiated learning and who understands the importance of emotional regulation, relationship-building, and trauma-informed practice.

The Role

As a SEN Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering tailored lessons that meet the individual needs of pupils with complex learning difficulties. You will work closely with support staff and therapists to ensure every pupil receives a holistic and consistent approach to their education.

You will create a positive and structured classroom environment where pupils feel safe, supported, and able to engage in learning at their own pace.

We would love to hear from:

• Qualified Teachers (QTS or equivalent)
• ECTs with a strong interest in SEN
• Teachers with experience in special schools or alternative provisions
• Teachers from mainstream backgrounds with strong pastoral or behaviour experience

The ideal candidate will be:

• Patient, resilient, and highly empathetic
• Confident managing challenging behaviour calmly and consistently
• Skilled in differentiating learning for a wide range of abilities
• Passionate about inclusive education and supporting vulnerable learners
• A strong team player with excellent communication skills

What the School Expects

The successful candidate will:

• Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons for pupils with complex SEN
• Work closely with Teaching Assistants, therapists, and senior leaders
• Contribute to EHCP targets and personalised learning plans
• Use a nurturing, trauma-informed approach to behaviour and engagement
• Create a safe and structured learning environment that promotes progress
• Engage in ongoing training and whole-school development

What We Offer

• Competitive daily pay of £135 – £232, depending on experience and qualifications
• A full-time teaching opportunity within a highly supportive SEN setting
• Ongoing support from your dedicated Tradewind Recruitment consultant
• Access to CPD and professional development opportunities
• The chance to work within a respected and established multi-academy trust

How to Achieve the Higher Pay Rate

The higher end of the pay scale (up to £232 per day) is available to teachers who can demonstrate significant experience in SEN or specialist education settings. This may include previous leadership responsibilities, extensive SEN teaching experience, or a strong track record of success in alternative provision or special school environments.

Teachers who can evidence expertise in behaviour management, EHCP delivery, curriculum adaptation, and supporting pupils with complex and high needs are more likely to be considered for the higher rate.
