SEND Primary Teacher - Milton Keynes

Full-Time | Competitive Salary / Daily Rates | Specialist Education

Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking a passionate and dedicated Primary Teacher to join a specialist school in Milton Keynes. The school supports young people aged 7-19 with a range of additional needs, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH), Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD).

This is a fantastic opportunity for a committed primary teacher who is passionate about inclusive education and helping pupils overcome barriers to learning. You will be joining a specialist setting where building positive relationships, providing individualised support and celebrating every achievement are at the heart of the school's approach.

The Role

As a Primary Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons to pupils with a range of additional learning needs. You will create a structured and supportive classroom environment where pupils feel safe, valued and encouraged to reach their potential.

You will need to be adaptable in your teaching approach, recognising that pupils may have different learning styles, communication needs and levels of ability.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging lessons across the primary curriculum.

• Differentiating learning activities to meet individual abilities and additional needs.

• Supporting pupils with SEMH, ASC and SLD to access learning and make progress.

• Creating a positive, structured and inclusive classroom environment.

• Building strong relationships with pupils to encourage engagement and positive attitudes towards learning.

• Implementing appropriate behaviour management strategies and supporting emotional regulation.

• Monitoring pupil progress and adapting teaching to support individual learning targets.

• Working collaboratively with Teaching Assistants and other professionals to provide consistent support.

• Encouraging pupils to develop communication, social skills, confidence and independence.

The Ideal Candidate

We are keen to hear from teachers who:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

• Have experience teaching within a primary school setting.

• Have a genuine passion for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs.

• Can adapt lessons and teaching strategies to accommodate a range of abilities.

• Have strong classroom management and behaviour management skills.

• Are patient, resilient, creative and confident building positive relationships.

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

Previous experience within SEN, SEMH, ASC or specialist education would be advantageous. However, we would also welcome applications from mainstream primary teachers who are interested in moving into specialist education.

• Opportunities within a specialist school supporting pupils aged 7-19.

• Potential for longer-term and ongoing placements.

• Ongoing support from your dedicated Tradewind consultant.
