SEN Humanities Teacher in Soham

Are you an inspiring, patient, and creative Humanities Teacher looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pupils with additional learning needs? Whether you thrive on the variety and complete flexibility of day-to-day supply, or are seeking the rewarding continuity and connection of a long-term position, we have fantastic opportunities tailored to your availability.

We are currently partnering with supportive specialist SEN provisions and alternative learning environments near Fordham and the wider East Cambridgeshire area. We are experiencing strong demand for passionate Humanities Teachers (History, Geography, or RE/Citizenship) to engage learners who often face barriers to accessing the mainstream curriculum.

Whether you are an experienced SEN specialist, a mainstream Humanities Teacher seeking a transition to smaller group settings, or an enthusiastic ECT looking to build vital experience within inclusive education, we can help find your ideal placement.

Choose Your Ideal Way of Working:

• Day-to-Day Supply: Enjoy total control over your schedule with complete flexibility. Choose the exact days you want to work to balance personal commitments or family life while experiencing different specialist classroom environments near Fordham.
• Long-Term Opportunities: For those who value routine and building deep, lasting relationships with learners and staff, we offer long-term placements spanning a term or a full academic year. These roles allow you to track student progress, adapt schemes of work, and often lead to permanent contracts.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver creative, differentiated Humanities lessons tailored to varied abilities, including Entry Level, ASDAN, Functional Skills, and GCSE pathways.
• Support pupils with diverse special educational needs, such as Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, and Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD).
• Create an engaging, calm, and nurturing classroom atmosphere that encourages curiosity about the world, historical understanding, and cultural awareness.
• Work collaboratively with Teaching Assistants and multi-disciplinary teams to support individual Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
• Utilize positive behaviour support and de-escalation strategies to keep learners regulated, motivated, and confident.

What We Look For:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS, QTLS, or equivalent recognised UK teaching qualification).
• Proven experience teaching Humanities subjects (History, Geography, or RE) across Key Stages 3 and 4; experience within an SEN or alternative provision setting is highly advantageous, but a strong commitment to inclusive practice is essential.
• A resilient, empathetic, and adaptable approach to teaching, with strong classroom management and rapport-building skills.
• The ability to differentiate learning effectively, making abstract concepts accessible and engaging for pupils with complex learning needs.
• A valid Enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or willingness to complete one).

Benefits of Working With Us:

• Competitive daily rates of pay, processed weekly and reflective of your experience level.
• A dedicated local consultant with established relationships across specialist provisions and schools in and around Fordham.
• Complete flexibility to set and manage your availability via our user-friendly booking app.
• Direct pathways into long-term contracts, maternity covers, and permanent positions.
• Access to ongoing CPD, safeguarding updates, and specialised training modules.
• Generous 'Refer a Friend' scheme offering shopping vouchers (terms apply).
