SEN Teacher

An inclusive and forward-thinking mainstream primary school in the Wandsworth Borough is seeking a compassionate, experienced, and skilled SEN Teacher to join their team from September.

• Collaborating with the SENCO, therapists, external professionals, and families to create personalised learning plans (EHCPs)

• Ensuring a nurturing and structured learning environment that promotes independence, confidence, and emotional well-being

• Contributing to whole-school inclusion and sharing expertise with the wider staff team

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) - ECTs with relevant SEN experience welcome to apply

• Proven experience of teaching children with autism and/or complex SEN, ideally in a primary or specialist setting

• A solid understanding of the KS2 curriculum and how to adapt it for children with additional needs

• Excellent behaviour management strategies and a calm, empathetic approach

• A passion for inclusive education and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with children and families

• Knowledge of relevant SEN strategies and a commitment to professional development

• A purpose-built, well-resourced ASD base with a focus on structure, routine, and communication

• Supportive and experienced SLT and SEN team who value staff well-being and collaboration

• Opportunities for CPD, including ASC-specific training and career progression

• Strong partnerships with outside agencies, therapists, and parents

• A culture of inclusion, kindness, and high expectations
