£27,000 - £39,000 per annum | Temp to Perm | Full-Time

Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking a passionate and committed SEN English Teacher to join an expanding specialist school in Northampton. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher who is looking to make a real difference to the education and development of secondary-aged pupils with additional needs.

The school is continuing to grow and develop its provision, offering a fantastic opportunity to become part of an expanding setting where you can contribute to the learning, progress and wider development of its pupils.

The Role

As an SEN English Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, accessible English lessons to secondary-aged pupils with a range of additional learning needs. You will play an important role in helping pupils develop their literacy, reading, writing and communication skills, adapting your teaching approach to meet individual abilities and learning styles.

You will be joining a supportive school environment where building positive relationships, encouraging independence and celebrating individual achievements are central to the approach.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning and delivering engaging English lessons tailored to pupils with additional needs.

  • Adapting learning materials and teaching strategies to support a range of abilities.

  • Supporting pupils to develop their reading, writing, comprehension and communication skills.

  • Creating a positive, inclusive and structured classroom environment.

  • Monitoring pupil progress and adapting lessons to support individual learning goals.

  • Working collaboratively with teaching assistants, colleagues and the wider school team.

  • Encouraging confidence, independence and a positive attitude towards learning.

The Ideal Candidate

We are keen to hear from qualified teachers who:

  • Hold QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

  • Have experience teaching English at secondary level, ideally within an SEN or specialist setting.

  • Have a good understanding of how to adapt teaching for pupils with additional learning needs.

  • Are patient, resilient and passionate about supporting young people who may require a more individualised approach to education.

  • Can build strong relationships with pupils and create an engaging learning environment.

  • Are committed to supporting both academic progress and personal development.

Experience within SEN, SEMH, ASC or alternative provision would be advantageous, although we are keen to speak with teachers who have the right attitude and transferable experience.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary of £27,000-£39,000 per annum, depending on experience.

  • Full-time, temp-to-perm opportunity, offering the potential for a permanent position.

  • The opportunity to join an expanding specialist school.

  • A supportive working environment with opportunities to develop your teaching practice.

  • The chance to make a genuine difference to the lives and education of secondary-aged pupils.
