I recruit for special schools across the Dudley, Sandwell, Shropshire, Walsall and Wolverhampton areas and currently experiencing a huge number of roles being registered with me. Some of these SEN teaching roles are long term, whilst others are short term to cover planned absences. Working in a special school, you'll be working with a specialist team of staff and providing specialist education for pupils that have ECH plans. Classes within a special school are much smaller than their mainstream counterparts and pupils are grouped in accordance with ability and need, not just their age. Read what Tracy has to say about her experience of working with me in special schools: "I was an experienced mainstream teacher of 8 years and had taught in both primary, middle and secondary schools (I'm a Drama specialist). I'd always had an interest in working within a special school but was unsure how to get across. Working with Claire at Hays has been invaluable. She has years of experience of working with these schools, so she was able to advise me which setting would be best to start with. What was helpful was that she had made the schools aware of my background too, which gave me comfort in knowing that everything was transparent from the start. I would recommend working in a special school to anyone. The focus is the child, which is so refreshing and revived my love for education. I have now gained permanent employment within a special school and cannot thank you enough". If you have an interest and simply want to have a chat about your options, get in touch. If you know someone else that this could be of interest to - recommend them to Hays and you will both earn £350 of high street vouchers as soon as they start working.
