SEN Science Teacher

SEN Science Teacher - Secondary

Location: Milton Keynes
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time
Agency: Tradewind Recruitment

Are you a Science Teacher who is passionate about making a genuine difference to the lives of young people with Special Educational Needs?

Tradewind Recruitment are currently working with a specialist SEN school in Milton Keynes who are looking for a dedicated Science Teacher to join their team from September 2026.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who enjoys adapting their teaching to individual needs and wants to work in a setting where relationships, engagement and progress are at the heart of the school.

The Role

You will be teaching Science to secondary-aged pupils with a range of additional needs. The school supports pupils across both SEN and SEMH provisions, meaning lessons need to be engaging, accessible and carefully adapted to meet a variety of learning needs.

Class sizes are typically smaller than those found in mainstream settings, with dedicated Teaching Assistant support available. You will work closely with the wider pastoral and SEN teams to create a calm, structured and supportive learning environment.

The successful teacher will be confident adapting the curriculum and using practical, creative approaches to engage pupils who may have previously struggled within a mainstream environment.

We are looking for:
QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification
Science teaching experience
Experience working with SEN/SEMH pupils is desirable but not essential
Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
The ability to differentiate and adapt lessons effectively
A patient, nurturing and consistent approach
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A genuine commitment to helping pupils overcome barriers to learning

Mainstream Science Teachers with an interest in moving into SEN are strongly encouraged to apply.
