We are currently seeking to represent an experienced education professional with exceptional skills in teaching pupils with MLD. If you are a SEND specialist teacher or senior leader who is available immediately, we would be keen to speak with you.
This role is offered initially as a temporary, part-time (3 days per week) opportunity to provide PPA cover. All planning is in place for the term. Your key role will be to support the current team to create stability and assist with the development of practices. Ideally, you will be experienced with working alongside pupils on a one-to-one basis or small group basis.
Typically, the site caters for pupils aged 7-17 with SEND requirements such as severe learning difficulties and/or profound and multiple learning difficulties and class sizes are small. An informal meeting will be offered with the new Headteacher as a starting point for you to gain a full understanding of the school and their needs.
This site is part of a national trust focused on supporting children with complex behaviours and needs. Their pupils have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and they work closely with them to develop self-belief to become effective learners. If you are of a similar mindset and ethos, we would be very happy to discuss the role in more detail.
We hold REC Corporate Membership, and we are fully committed to safeguarding all children within our schools. We are fully committed to a stringent compliance process and in addition to our checks, all shortlisted candidates will be subject to online searches.
In order to be successfully shortlisted in any of your applications with us we will require the following:
- A relevant UK based qualification.
- Substantial experience working within a UK based SEND specialist education setting.
- All required documents for safer recruitment processing including, but not limited to a valid right to work proof and a valid Enhanced DBS.

Once shortlisted, a one-to-one interview will be scheduled with your dedicated consultant to discuss your experience and personal requirements.
