Primary SEN Teacher Location: Watford, Hertfordshire Pay: M1-UPS3 Fringe + SEN Allowance Start Date: September 2026 Contract: Full-time
Do you believe the best teaching happens when a child feels understood, safe, and genuinely celebrated?
Parker Smith Inclusion is working with an outstanding special primary school in Watford to recruit a passionate and experienced Primary SEN Teacher for September 2026.
This is a rare opportunity to join a school where staff don't just deliver lessons, they build confidence, communication and emotional safety for pupils aged 4-11 with complex learning needs and developmental differences.
The approach here is creative, holistic and deeply child-centred. Progress is measured in meaningful moments: a child using communication with confidence, joining in with a peer, regulating after a difficult transition, or finally believing they can succeed.
The role As a Primary SEN Teacher, you will lead a small KS1 or KS2 class with the support of a dedicated team of LSAs. You will plan and deliver engaging, differentiated learning that meets pupils at their stage of development and supports their EHCP outcomes.
You will create a calm and structured classroom where pupils feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow. You will encourage independence, social development and confidence through practical, hands-on learning, while working closely with therapists, families and multi-agency professionals to ensure pupils receive joined-up support.
You will also play a key role in guiding and nurturing your support staff, building a consistent team around every child.
Who we're looking for Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent Experience teaching or supporting pupils with Autism, complex needs and/or SEMH A creative, flexible and empathetic approach to teaching Strong communication and teamwork skills A reflective mindset and a genuine passion for inclusive education Mainstream primary teachers looking to transition into SEN are warmly encouraged to apply
Why this school? This school is built around relationships, wellbeing and belief. Staff work collaboratively, leadership is supportive, and the culture is one where teachers feel valued and trusted.
The school offers Small class sizes for truly personalised teaching A welcoming and supportive staff team Comprehensive induction and continuous CPD Protected PPA time, with flexibility for some home working Wellbeing benefits including counselling and physiotherapy Free on-site parking Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
