Bradford Beacon School is growing, and we’re looking for passionate SEN Primary Teachers who want more than just a job. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a nurturing, trauma-informed learning environment from the ground up and make a genuine difference every day.

• Is creative, flexible, and resilient in their teaching approach
• Believes in trauma-informed, child-centred education
• Is excited by the opportunity to help build and grow a new school community

Whether you’re an experienced SEN teacher or a mainstream teacher ready to specialise, you’ll be fully supported to thrive.
