SEN Teacher

Teach South seeks an SEN Teacher for a specialist school in Lymington. This full-time post, paying £34,069 to £46,940 annually, involves supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties. The successful candidate will plan and deliver tailored lessons, manage individual education plans, and collaborate with therapists and support staff. Strong behaviour management, patience and adaptability are essential. Whether experienced in special needs or moving from mainstream teaching, applicants will join a setting dedicated to helping children and young people thrive.

Teach South is working in partnership with a specialist SEN school in Lymington to recruit a motivated and caring Special Educational Needs Teacher to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who wants to make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people who require additional support with their learning and development. The school works with pupils with a variety of additional needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. Whether you are an experienced SEN teacher or a mainstream teacher looking for a new direction, this role offers the opportunity to develop your skills in a specialist educational setting.

About the Role

As an SEN Teacher, you will play an important part in creating a positive and engaging learning experience for pupils with a range of additional needs. You will adapt your teaching methods to suit individual abilities, helping each pupil develop academically, socially and emotionally.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and delivering creative, accessible lessons that reflect pupils' individual learning needs.
• Supporting children and young people with ASD, SEMH and other additional learning difficulties.
• Establishing a calm, consistent and supportive classroom environment.
• Using flexible teaching strategies to engage pupils with different learning styles and abilities.
• Working closely with teaching assistants and other professionals to provide effective, individualised support.
• Promoting positive behaviour, emotional wellbeing, independence and self-confidence.
• Monitoring pupil progress and adapting learning activities to encourage continued development.

What We're Looking For:

The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about inclusive education and committed to helping every pupil reach their potential.

You will ideally have:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• A patient, understanding and flexible approach to teaching.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to adapt lessons and respond positively to individual challenges.
• A commitment to creating a safe, structured and encouraging learning environment.
• Previous experience supporting pupils with additional needs, although mainstream teaching experience is welcomed.

You do not need to have an extensive background in SEN education to be considered.

If you are a mainstream teacher who is eager to broaden your experience and make a difference in a specialist setting, we would be delighted to hear from you.

What's on Offer?

• A full-time teaching opportunity within a specialist SEN school in Lymington.
• The chance to make a lasting impact on the educational and personal development of young people.
• An opportunity to expand your teaching experience and build specialist knowledge.
• A role focused on individual progress, inclusion and pupil wellbeing.
• The opportunity to bring your existing classroom skills into a new and rewarding environment.

Teach South is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Any appointment will be subject to appropriate pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
