You know how to teach. But you also know that with SEND, sometimes the original lesson plan lasts about ten minutes.
A pupil needs more processing time.
The task needs simplifying without losing its purpose.
Someone needs a movement break before they're ready to learn.
Another pupil flies through something you expected to take all morning.
We're looking for a qualified SEND Teacher in Nottingham who is comfortable doing exactly that.
This is a role for someone who can walk into a classroom with a clear plan, but isn't afraid to change it when the pupils in front of them need something different.
The job:
Teach pupils with a range of special educational needs and disabilities, plan appropriate learning, assess progress and work closely with the other adults supporting each child.
The pay:
£120-£225 per day, depending on experience and placement.
What you'll actually be responsible for:
- - Planning and teaching lessons at an appropriate level for your pupils.
- - Turning curriculum objectives into learning that is accessible and achievable.
- - Differentiating without lowering expectations.
- - Working with individual learning plans and EHCP outcomes.
- - Assessing where pupils are now and deciding what needs to happen next.
- - Directing Teaching Assistants effectively within your classroom.
- - Supporting behaviour, engagement and emotional regulation.
- - Keeping appropriate records of learning and progress.
- - Working with SEND professionals, families and colleagues around the pupil.
What we need from you:
- QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification is essential.
- You’ll also need genuine experience of teaching or supporting pupils with SEND and the confidence to manage a classroom where needs, abilities and communication styles may vary considerably.
- We’re not looking for one particular teaching personality.
- You might be creative and energetic. You might be calm, structured and methodical. Both can work brilliantly in SEND.
- What matters is that you can read your classroom, adapt your teaching and understand why you’re making those adaptations.
- Strong behaviour management, good communication and experience of personalised or differentiated teaching will all be important.
- And you’ll need to be comfortable working as part of a wider team. SEND teaching involves collaboration - with Teaching Assistants, SEND leaders, therapists, pastoral teams and families - rather than one teacher working behind a closed classroom door.
Already working in SEND? This could give you experience within a different setting or pupil group.
Mainstream teacher considering specialist education? If you have strong SEND experience and adaptive teaching skills, we’d also be interested in hearing from you.
