non-speaking pupils and young people with complex SEND , including those with PMLD, SLD and pre-formal developmental profiles. The school is developing its provision and is looking for a teacher who can bring strong SEN pedagogy, creativity and a genuinely child-centred approach to the classroom. The role
You will lead learning for pupils working within a
pre-formal or semi-formal curriculum , with a strong focus on communication, engagement, development and independence.

Supporting pupils with complex learning and developmental needs
Using intensive interaction approaches where appropriate
Supporting sensory regulation and emotional wellbeing

Developing meaningful, individualised learning opportunities
Working collaboratively with families and the wider specialist team
What we're looking for

Specialist autism provision
Complex needs schools
Pre-formal or semi-formal curriculum
AAC and alternative communication
Sensory-based learning
Intensive interaction
Complex physical or medical needs
Most importantly, you will understand that
specialist SEN pedagogy comes first
and that successful teaching starts with understanding how each individual pupil communicates, learns and experiences the world. Why join this role?
This is an opportunity to join a developing specialist provision where you can have a genuine influence on practice and help shape an environment around the needs of the pupils. If you are an experienced SEN Teacher who enjoys creative, highly individualised teaching and wants to work with pupils with complex needs, we'd love to hear from you.
