Tradewind Recruitment are currently seeking a dedicated and resilient SEN Teacher to work within alternative provisions in Barnsley. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced teacher or a passionate educator looking to make a real difference in the lives of young people who require a more tailored and supportive approach to learning.

About the Role
You will be working with students who have a range of special educational needs, including social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. The provision offers a nurturing and structured environment where the focus is on re-engaging students with education, building confidence, and supporting both academic and personal development.

Key Responsibilities

• Support students with EHCPs and additional learning requirements
• Foster a safe, supportive, and inclusive classroom environment
• Work collaboratively with support staff and external professionals
• Monitor and track student progress, adapting approaches where necessary

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent
• Experience working with SEN and/or within alternative provisions
• Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
• A proactive and compassionate approach
• A genuine passion for supporting vulnerable learners
