Are you a talented teacher with a genuine passion for and understanding of SEN? This is a unique opportunity to work outside the framework of the national curriculum and centre your work on empowering students with disabilities to gain vital skills for a happy and fulfilling life after school.
I'm currently working with a specialist SEN college based in Uxbridge, Hillingdon. The hours of work are 8.45am - 4.30pm. Students are on site Monday to Thursday and staff training takes place on Friday. This role is to start immediately and would continue for the duration of the academic year.
