The role is for a class based SEN teacher to join their team from September on a permanent contract. The SEN teacher role will be to undertake the full class teaching responsibilities including full planning and assessment. You will have class of 4 or 5 students who have moderate learning difficulties and related needs who will be undertaking a life skills focused curriculum with the support of 2-3 full time experienced SEN TAs.

The successful SEN teacher will be given an exciting opportunity to work as a part of an expanding group of schools, where your energy and experience will be valued as a part of the school's aim to meet the varied needs of our students. The successful SEN teacher will enjoy a high degree of job satisfaction as they will be supported and developed by an SLT who ensure that they can focus on the opportunity to apply their skills to working with the students rather than being bogged down in admin.

The School

The school's Brent site is offers a range of formal learning opportunities and life skills classes for Key stage 5 (ages 16-25) students with moderate learning needs. The curriculum is designed to allow students to become confident and valued members of their communities. Students are typically taught in groups of 4-5, with a qualified teacher supported by several experienced teaching assistants, depending on need. Formal lessons are aimed at developing reading, writing and mathematical skills with students able to sit exams to achieve formal qualifications where appropriate.

Students can access vocational courses that can lead to work experience opportunities in the local community or the chance for students to develop their skills into their own potential businesses. Individuals are supported to apply their skills and knowledge in the school's café and allotments. Many of their young people want to gain the skills and knowledge to be able to live independently in the future. Life-skills and independent living sessions are designed to allow students to become confident in a range of areas from cooking and nutrition to managing finances. Many of the formal, vocational and life-skills learning can gain accreditation through ASDAN or AQA Units of Work.
