SEN Teacher
A new school. A blank page. Real impact from day one.
Location: Lytham
This is not a replacement post.
It is not “due to expansion.”
No one is retiring.
We are opening a brand-new specialist school, and we are looking for a SEN Teacher who wants to help shape something meaningful from the very beginning.
The role (in real terms)
You will:
* Teach pupils with a range of additional needs, including autism, communication difficulties, and social-emotional needs
* Build trusting relationships with pupils who may not have trusted school before
* Work collaboratively with therapists, families, and support staff
* Help shape curriculum, routines, and classroom culture from the ground up
* Be given the time and autonomy to teach well — not just cope
You might be the right person if…
* You are a qualified teacher (QTS/QTLS) with SEN experience
* You care deeply about inclusion, dignity, and emotional safety
* You are reflective, curious, and open to doing things differently
* You value teamwork, but are confident using your professional judgement
* You want to be part of something new, not squeezed into something old
What you can expect from us
* A genuinely supportive leadership team
* Small classes and meaningful support
* Time to plan, reflect, and collaborate
* Competitive salary, aligned to experience
* Ongoing professional development that is practical, not box-ticking
* The chance to help define the culture of a school from its first day
Final thought
This role will not suit everyone.
It will suit the right person exceptionally well.
If you want to teach in a place where care is not a slogan, progress is personal, and your voice helps shape the future, we would like to hear from you.
