About the Role

Are you an experienced and qualified Teacher looking for a new challenge or career progression?

Have you always had a passion and talent for teaching children with additional needs?

I am actively recruiting creative and engaging teachers for special schools in the borough of Newham. I am looking for teachers who have a passion for working with SEN/Autism.

About the role of Special Educational Needs Teacher:

As a Special Educational Needs Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering creative and engaging lessons for small classes of children with a primary diagnosis of Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. Working as a Special Educational Needs Teacher, you will understand that academic development is only possible when you address the primary need first. You will work with the school's multidisciplinary therapy team to ensure the best holistic development possible. These opportunities will suit teachers who have a passion and natural ability to engage children with a SEND diagnosis. You will have the ability to create interactive, therapeutic, and meaningful lessons, helping children reach their full potential.

Requirements for Special Educational Needs Teacher:

To work as a Special Educational Needs Teacher, you will ideally hold QTS or QTLS or have relevant experience as a teacher. Solid experience working with highly vulnerable children, pupils with a diagnosis of Autism/Asperger’s, challenging behaviours, and anxiety disorders is beneficial but we want to hear from ALL teachers. If you are interested in a teaching approach that is holistic and therapeutic but don’t necessarily have this experience yet, please still enquire.
