SEND Teacher - Primary SEND School

Full-Time Opportunities | Competitive Pay | Northamptonshire

Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking a passionate and dedicated SEN Teacher to work within a welcoming primary specialist SEND school.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic primary teacher who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs and wants to make a genuine difference to their learning, development and confidence.

The school provides a supportive and inclusive environment for primary-aged pupils with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, with learning tailored to individual abilities, communication styles and developmental needs.

Whether you already have experience in a specialist SEND setting or are a mainstream primary teacher looking to move into special education, we would love to hear from you!

The Role

As an SEN Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, creative and highly differentiated lessons to meet the individual needs of your pupils.

You will work closely with Teaching Assistants and the wider school team to create a positive classroom environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to achieve their potential.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering engaging lessons tailored to individual learning needs and abilities.

• Teaching across the primary curriculum, adapting activities to make learning accessible and meaningful.

• Supporting pupils' communication, language, literacy and numeracy development.

• Incorporating practical, sensory and play-based learning opportunities where appropriate.

• Developing pupils' social skills, emotional regulation and independence.

• Setting individual learning objectives and monitoring progress against targets.

• Creating a structured, positive and inclusive classroom environment.

• Working closely with Teaching Assistants, SENCOs, parents and external professionals.

• Contributing to individual education plans and supporting pupils' wider development.

The Ideal Candidate

We are keen to hear from teachers who:

• Hold QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

• Have experience teaching within a primary setting.

• Have a genuine passion for supporting children with SEND.

• Can confidently differentiate lessons for pupils with a range of abilities and learning styles.

• Are creative and able to make learning engaging through practical and interactive activities.

• Are patient, nurturing, adaptable and resilient.

• Have strong communication and classroom management skills.

• Are committed to helping every child make progress, however big or small.

Experience supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), communication needs or Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs would be advantageous. However, mainstream primary teachers looking to develop their experience within specialist SEND education are also encouraged to apply.
