About the Role
Connex Education is recruiting passionate and dedicated SEND Teachers to work within specialist educational settings across North Somerset from September 2026. We have a variety of opportunities available, including day-to-day supply, short-term placements, and long-term teaching roles with full classroom responsibilities.

The settings support pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), communication and interaction needs, sensory processing differences, complex learning needs and Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH). Class sizes are typically small, allowing teachers to provide highly personalised learning experiences and support pupils to achieve meaningful outcomes.
