Tradewind Recruitment is looking to hear from qualified teachers interested in leading a class in a primary specialist resource provision or SEND setting in Bexley. We'd particularly like to speak with teachers who have planned and delivered a curriculum for pupils with complex needs and led the adults supporting them in the classroom.

This work will suit a teacher who enjoys getting to know how each pupil learns, setting realistic next steps and giving the classroom team a consistent approach to follow. Progress might mean a pupil communicating a choice more independently, taking part in a group activity or applying a skill in a different setting.

What the work can involve

  • Planning and teaching lessons that reflect pupils' starting points, communication needs and individual targets.

  • Using assessment and observation to track progress and decide what to teach next.

  • Briefing and directing teaching assistants so each adult knows how to support pupils during lessons and transitions.

  • Working with the SENCO, families and relevant professionals to review progress and support plans.

What we're looking for

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

  • Experience leading a class in a specialist provision, special school or dedicated SEND classroom.

  • Evidence of how you've adapted teaching, assessed progress and worked with support staff to meet individual needs.

Apply now with your CV and tell us about the classes you've led, the needs you've supported and your earliest availability. We'll discuss the type of provision and level of responsibility you're looking for before introducing you to schools. All assignments are subject to satisfactory safeguarding checks and references.
