Job Description

The "Everything-But-Ordinary" SEND Teacher Role | Birmingham (Ages 5-16)

Let's look past the job title. You aren't just a "Teacher" here. You are a navigator for students who find the traditional world a little too loud, a little too fast, or a little too rigid. If you believe neurodiversity is a strength to be unlocked rather than a box to be checked, this is your classroom.

Tradewind Recruitment is seeking a SEND Teacher for an established Birmingham specialist school that doesn't believe in "one size fits all." This is a Full-Time, Temp-to-Perm role where the school invests in you as much as you invest in the pupils.

What makes this role different?

  • The Setting: An all-through (Ages 5-16) school. You get to see the long-term impact of your work as students move toward independent adulthood.
  • The Pay: £168.81 - £232.56 per day (MPS equivalent). We skip the guesswork and pay you for your expertise from day one.
  • The Facilities: You'll be working in a bespoke, newly-built site. No crumbling Victorian corridors-just modern spaces designed for sensory regulation and growth.

This school is a hub for variety. You'll be supporting learners with:

  • ASD & Neurodiversity (Navigating the world differently)
  • MLD & Global Development Delay (Closing the gap at their own pace)
  • SLCN, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia (Finding new ways to communicate and create)

We aren't just looking for 20 years of experience. We are looking for instinct.

  • Experienced SEND Teachers: Show us your craft.
  • ECTs: Start your career in an environment that actually prioritizes support.
  • Unqualified Teachers (UQTs): If you have the passion and the "SEND spark," the school will support you in gaining your formal qualifications.

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

  • Tailoring the National Curriculum: Delivering high standards but doing it with the flexibility that SEMH needs require.
  • Closing the Gap: Using those modern facilities to prepare students for the real world-focusing on life skills as much as academics.
  • Adapting on the Fly: Switching your teaching style mid-lesson because a student's "learning trajectory" just changed.

The Essentials (Requirements):

  • A deep-seated interest in Special Educational Needs.
  • A nurturing approach (resilience is mandatory; kindness is non-negotiable).
  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or we can help you get a fresh one).

Why Tradewind? (The Meta Perks)

  • Thea Fraser: You aren't sending your CV into a black hole. You have a dedicated Consultant within the Birmingham fighting for your best interests.
  • Referral Bonus: Know someone as good as you? Tell us, and once they're placed, you get £100.
  • Professional Armor: 2,500+ free CPD courses to keep you at the top of your game.
