Are you a qualified Primary or Secondary Teacher looking for a fresh challenge, greater flexibility, and a role where your impact is truly felt?
Special Education Needs (SEN) teaching offers a unique opportunity to transform lives while enjoying a more balanced and fulfilling career. Whether you're seeking short-term assignments or a long-term shift, SEN schools are actively welcoming teachers from mainstream backgrounds.
What Are SEN Schools?
SEN schools cater to pupils with a wide range of additional needs. Here’s a quick overview:

* ASD Specialist Schools – Focus on children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Structured routines and sensory-friendly environments are key.
