Build a career in specialist education where your teaching can make a genuine difference.
Are you a passionate teacher looking for a role where you can develop your SEN expertise, be supported to grow professionally and see the impact of your work every day?
We are working with a well-established and now expanding specialist school in Hertfordshire that is looking for enthusiastic SEN Class Teachers to join their dedicated team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants more than their next teaching role. You’ll be joining a supportive specialist environment where professional development is actively encouraged and there are opportunities to build your SEN knowledge, take on additional responsibilities and progress your career within specialist education. You’ll work with pupils with a range of additional needs, creating meaningful learning experiences that support not only academic progress, but also communication, confidence, independence and preparation for adulthood.
The Role
As an SEN Class Teacher, you’ll lead your classroom with creativity, patience and ambition, adapting learning around the individual strengths and needs of your pupils.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Planning and delivering engaging, differentiated and creative lessons
-
Setting meaningful individual targets and monitoring pupil progress
-
Creating a positive, structured and nurturing classroom environment
-
Leading and working closely with Teaching Assistants and support colleagues
-
Contributing to individual learning plans and EHCP reviews
-
Working collaboratively with families, therapists and other professionals
-
Supporting pupils to develop confidence, communication and independence
-
Promoting positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing
-
Maintaining high standards of safeguarding and pupil welfare
Who We're Looking For
We’d love to hear from Early Years, Primary and Secondary teachers who:
-
Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and have successfully completed their ECT years.
-
Have a genuine interest in developing their career within SEN and specialist education
-
Are creative, adaptable and able to think beyond traditional classroom teaching
-
Can build positive and trusting relationships with pupils
-
Work confidently as part of a multidisciplinary team
-
Are committed to inclusion and helping every pupil achieve their individual potential
-
Are comfortable supporting pupils with personal care where required
-
Are able to swim, as this forms part of the school's wider pupil support and curriculum provision
Previous SEN experience would be valuable, but equally important is the right attitude, creativity and genuine desire to develop within specialist education.
Why This Opportunity?
This is a role where you can genuinely see the difference your work makes. You’ll have the opportunity to develop specialist SEN experience within an established setting, working alongside experienced education and support professionals. For a teacher who wants to build a long-term career in SEND, this role offers the chance to:
-
Develop specialist SEN teaching expertise
-
Broaden your experience beyond a mainstream classroom
-
Take on greater responsibility as your experience develops
-
Access ongoing professional development
-
Build valuable experience working alongside a multidisciplinary team
-
Develop your career within specialist education and future leadership pathways
-
Receive MPS salary plus Fringe and SEN allowances
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a team focused on helping young people achieve things that can make a lasting difference to their confidence, independence and future.
