Location: Lincolnshire
Salary: up to £44k
Contract: Permanent, Term Time only, Full Time, 40 hours per week
 
We are recruiting for two SEND Teachers to join a small specialist school in Lincolnshire supporting pupils with a range of SEND, SEMH and additional needs.
 
The school provides a highly nurturing and individualised learning environment for pupils who may have found mainstream education challenging. Class sizes are exceptionally small, typically operating on a model of around 4 pupils supported by 2 adults, allowing teachers to build strong relationships and tailor learning around individual needs.
 
We are looking for:

• KS1-KS2 SEND Teacher – delivering learning at KS1-KS2 level to pupils of varied ages and abilities.
• KS3 SEND Teacher – a strong generalist teacher who is confident delivering a range of subjects across the curriculum.

You will:

• Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons for pupils with SEND and SEMH needs.
• Teach very small groups and provide individualised learning where required.
• Adapt teaching to pupils working at a range of academic levels.
• Support pupils to develop their confidence, independence and engagement with education.
• Create a safe, consistent and nurturing classroom environment.
• Manage behaviour positively, taking individual needs and experiences into account.
• Assess progress and maintain appropriate records and reports.
• Work closely with teaching assistants, pastoral colleagues and the wider school team.
• Communicate effectively with parents, carers and other professionals.

We are particularly interested in teachers who:

• Hold QTS or QTLS.
• Have at least 2 years’ experience within SEND, SEMH, alternative provision or a similar specialist environment.
• Have a genuine passion for supporting children and young people with additional needs.
• Are confident differentiating learning for pupils working at different academic levels.
• Can build positive relationships with pupils who may have experienced challenges or disruption in their education.
• Have strong behaviour-management and classroom-management skills.
• Are resilient, patient and adaptable.

For the KS1-KS2 vacancy, primary teaching experience and the ability to deliver a broad KS1-KS2 curriculum would be particularly relevant.
 
For the KS3 vacancy, we are looking for a confident SEND generalist who can teach across a range of subjects. A vocational specialism is not required.
 
What’s on offer

• Very small class sizes and high levels of classroom support.
• A specialist SEND/SEMH environment.
• Fully funded training and professional development.
• Enhanced pension scheme.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay.
• Employee wellbeing and discount benefits.
• Life assurance.
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to pupils who need a more individualised approach to education.
