Teacher in SEND Unit

This is a very exciting opportunity for a dedicated and passionate teacher to join our Local Authority commissioned SEND unit within The Bromley Pensnett Primary School. You will be a strong teacher with the capacity to deliver the highest quality SEND provision in order to achieve excellent outcomes for all pupils. We welcome applications from mainstream teachers with a passion for Special Educational Needs and a proven track record of supporting pupils with SEND in mainstream classrooms, as well as those with experience in SEND settings.

You will be adaptable and resilient, with an understanding of how to contribute effectively to the existing positive culture and ethos of our welcoming and inclusive school community. Experience of working with children with additional needs in a primary or Early Years setting is highly desirable.

We offer excellent opportunities for your own professional development and expect all members of staff to aspire to go on improving practice and developing their careers. ‘Staff are proud to work at this school. They say that workload is manageable and they appreciate the approachability and support they receive from senior leaders.’ (Ofsted report, February 2024)

You will be committed to the highest standards of achievement for all. You will be a resourceful, inclusive and enthusiastic practitioner with a track record of high-quality teaching and a deep understanding of the strategies and practices associated with excellent pupil outcomes where cognition and learning and communication and interaction needs are a primary focus.

As a teacher in our SEND unit, you will work closely with the Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion, as well as with the DRB Ignite School Improvement Team to deliver an ambitious and bespoke provision, which will successfully meet the needs of the pupils and enable them to achieve the best possible outcomes regardless of their circumstance or background.

Within the Trust you will have:

• Opportunities to share ideas and improve both your own and the school’s practice
• Your professional ambitions actively encouraged and supported
• Opportunities to work with colleagues across a range of schools

The school will provide:

• The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children, many of whom are disadvantaged
• A supportive Senior Leadership Team
• Quality resources and a rich environment, to enable you to develop a personalised approach for every child you teach
• Excellent CPD to support you in your career development

We strongly suggest you call to arrange an informal visit and meet the team.
