Are you a primary-trained educator with a passion for supporting students with complex needs? We are seeking a dedicated and resilient SEN Teacher to join our specialist independent school in Peterborough.
In this role, you will be working with students aged 14-16 (Key Stage 4). However, because our pupils engage with a bespoke, sensory, and developmental curriculum, Primary Teaching QTS is essential.

* Create a nurturing, structured classroom environment tailored to students with diverse learning needs.
* Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to implement EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) targets.
* Foster an inclusive atmosphere where every milestone, no matter how small, is celebrated.
Requirements
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Specifically with a Primary age-range focus.
* SEN Experience: Prior experience working with complex needs, Autism, or SEMH is highly preferred.
* Adaptability: The ability to pivot your teaching style to meet the unique emotional and cognitive needs of each pupil.
* Resilience: A calm, patient approach and a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people.
Why Join Us?
* Competitive Salary: A generous range reflecting your expertise and the importance of the role.
* Specialist Setting: Work within an environment designed specifically for SEN, with smaller class sizes and high staff-to-pupil ratios.
* Professional Growth: Opportunity to deepen your expertise in specialist education within a supportive and collaborative team.
