Teacher – SEND / Specialist Education - Coventry

Luma are currently recruiting Teachers to join a small, growing specialist education setting in Coventry, where pupils benefit from small class sizes and a more personalised approach to learning.

This is an opportunity to join a school that is continuing to develop and grow, with the chance to build your experience, learn from experienced colleagues and play a part in the school's continued development.

Are you an ECT looking for the right environment to develop your teaching career, or an experienced teacher considering a change from mainstream education?

The Role

You will teach and support young people with a range of additional needs, adapting lessons and activities to suit individual abilities and learning goals.

Because classes are small, teachers can spend more time getting to know their pupils, building positive relationships and seeing the impact of their work.

• Planning and delivering engaging, personalised lessons
• Supporting pupils with SEND, autism, learning difficulties and additional needs
• Differentiating learning to meet individual needs
• Creating a calm, positive and structured classroom environment
• Monitoring progress and contributing to individual learning plans
• Working closely with Teaching Assistants and other members of the team
• Helping pupils develop confidence, independence and life skills
• Taking part in training and professional development

Who This Could Suit

We are happy to consider teachers at different stages of their careers.

This could be a great opportunity for:

• ECTs looking for a supportive environment in which to develop
• Mainstream teachers looking to move into SEND and specialist education
• Experienced SEND teachers looking for a new challenge
• Teachers who enjoy working with smaller groups and a more personalised approach
• Teachers who are enthusiastic, patient and keen to continue learning

Previous specialist or SEND experience would be beneficial but is not essential. What's most important is a genuine interest in supporting young people and a willingness to adapt your teaching to meet their needs.

What You Can Expect

• £150–£240 per day, depending on experience
• Monday–Friday, during school hours
• Small class sizes
• Supportive and experienced colleagues
• Training and professional development opportunities
• Time within the school day for planning and preparation
• The opportunity to develop your SEND teaching experience
• A growing and developing school environment
• Temp-to-perm opportunities
• The opportunity to make a genuine contribution to a developing setting
