Tradewind are currently recruiting for a qualified Primary Teacher to work at an Ofsted 'Outstanding' special school in Camden, who are actively looking for a SEN Teacher to start with them in September 2021.

This special school provides a very specialist environment with small classes (7-10 pupils) and specially trained staff including on-site speech and occupational therapists. Each child has an Educational Health and Care Plan and therefore pupil interventions are carefully planned to ensure every pupil makes the best possible rate of progress. As the class teacher, you will be working closely alongside the therapy team (Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists) to plan pupil interventions.
You will be teaching KS1/KS2 students, all diagnosed with Autism and moderate learning difficulties. Some students will be non-verbal or pre-verbal so communication using PECS/MAKATON is essential.
