SEN Teacher - Primary

Description

The role A well-regarded specialist school for pupils with autism in North London is looking for an SEN Class Teacher to take a primary class on a long-term basis, with a genuine view to permanent for the right person.

You'll lead a small class of pupils, all with an EHCP, supported by a team of teaching assistants who know the children well. Class sizes are small, the staffing ratios are high, and the school gives its teachers the time and training to do the job properly.

The setting has an experienced leadership team, an on-site therapy team you'll work alongside daily, and a strong culture of low-arousal, relational practice. They are looking for someone who wants to build something with them, not just fill a term.

ECTs with SEND experience are welcome to apply.

Willingness to train in the school's physical intervention framework [Team Teach / PROACT-SCIPr] and to support personal care needs
