We are looking for someone who understands that progress in an SEN setting isn't just about grades-it's about building independence, confidence, and life skills.

* Keeping accurate records of progress that reflect both academic and personal growth
Requirements:
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS is essential
* Experience managing a classroom of students with diverse and complex needs
* An enhanced child DBS on the update service (or the willingness to get one)
* Right to work in the UK - Essential (no sponsorship available)
* A straightforward, honest, and empathetic approach to student support
* Excellent communication skills-you'll be the bridge between students, parents, and the SENCO
