Are you a passionate teacher ready to make a genuine difference in a specialist setting?
We are working with a well-established SEN school in Folkestone, supporting pupils aged 4-19 with a wide range of complex needs including autism, communication difficulties, and profound and multiple learning difficulties. All pupils have EHCPs, and benefit from a highly personalised, needs-led approach to learning.

* Build strong, consistent relationships that support engagement and behaviour
Why Move into SEN?

* A personalised, child-centred curriculum focused on real-life outcomes
* Access to specialist facilities and resources to support learning and development
* A collaborative environment working alongside therapists and external professionals
* Ongoing CPD and specialist SEN training to enhance your skillset
* A genuinely rewarding role where every small step is a big achievement
Ideal Candidate
