Job Description: How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four? At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance – and we’re putting wellbeing first. We’re proud to be taking part in a 4‑Day Working Week Trial, meaning you could work one day less a week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full‑time pay. 4DWW will be rolled out within our school when we have a full complement of staff, so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us.
About the Role
Here, every day is a chance to spark curiosity, nurture confidence, and help children with complex needs discover their own unique brilliance. As our new SEN Primary Teacher, you’ll bring learning to life in a setting that values creativity, compassion, and care. You’ll have the freedom to teach in ways that truly connect with your pupils – empowering them to achieve academically, socially, and emotionally. You’ll be part of a warm, supportive school community where wellbeing and safeguarding are central to everything we do.
- Deliver creative, hands‑on lessons across a broad range of primary subjects.
- Personalise learning to meet the unique needs, abilities, and interests of every pupil.
- Foster independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning in all children.
- Collaborate with a talented, caring, and supportive team who share your passion for inclusion, growth, and excellence.
About You
You’re calm, adaptable, and full of positive energy. You see potential where others see challenge – and you’re passionate about helping every child find their voice and confidence.
You’ll bring:
- A relevant degree and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
- A creative, flexible approach to delivering engaging primary lessons.
- A genuine commitment to inclusive education and pupil wellbeing.
- Experience in SEN or ASC settings – desirable but not essential.
