The successful SEN Teacher will have:

• Ongoing CPD and specialist SEND training

• Strong pastoral and therapeutic support across the setting

• Well-resourced learning environments

• A welcoming and collaborative staff team

• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to young people's lives

• Long-term stability and career development opportunities

This SEN Teacher opportunity offers the chance to join a specialist setting where relationships, wellbeing and personalised learning are at the heart of everything they do. The successful SEN Teacher will play a key role in helping pupils develop academically, socially and emotionally whilst preparing them for future success.
