SEN Teacher

At the heart of every great school is a passionate teacher who brings more than just lesson plans to the classroom. We’re looking for an experienced SEN Teacher who understands that every child has potential, even if it takes a bit of creativity and patience to unlock it. If you’re ready to make a real impact on some of Derby's most vulnerable students, we want to hear from you.

Location: Derby
Contract: Full-Time, for the rest of the academic year
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM - 3:15 PM
Salary: £225 per day

The Role:

You’ll be working across three classes in a small, well-regarded school with a reputation for supporting staff and nurturing talent. The students are secondary-aged and present a range of needs, including autism, SEMH, EBD, and complex developmental delays. This isn’t a role for the faint-hearted; it’s a varied, hands-on position where you’ll need to be adaptable and resourceful, with an arsenal of strategies to engage children who require a bespoke approach.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

* PGCE, QTS or equivalent is essential.

* Experience working with a range of SEN needs, including autism, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and complex care requirements.

* A commitment to making a difference in the lives of children who face unique challenges.

* Ability to adapt techniques to meet the diverse needs of each student on a daily basis.

* Strong group facilitation skills to lead sessions and create a supportive learning environment.

Why This Role Stands Out:

In this role, planning is minimal, giving you the opportunity to focus on your interactions with the students and maintain a healthy work-life balance. The school understands that the key to effective teaching lies in a well-rounded support system, and they’ve built just that. Any class you cover will be well-staffed with SEN specialists and support staff, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity for the children’s progress.

What You’ll Be Joining:

* A school that is more than just a workplace – it’s a community.

* An environment that values dedication, innovation, and the drive to bring out the best in every child.

* A collaborative culture where staff are supported to grow professionally and encouraged to share ideas.

*

When to Apply:

This role starts immediately after the half-term, with interviews being held during and after the break. The school is committed to finding the right person, so they’re willing to wait for the ideal candidate.

Are You Ready?

If you’re an experienced SEN teacher with a passion for transforming the lives of children, this could be your next rewarding challenge. Bring your skills, empathy, and dedication, and let’s make a difference together.
