We are recruiting a Primary SEN Teacher for SEN hubs, inclusion rooms and resource bases in primary schools across Manchester. If you are a qualified primary teacher with a passion for SEN, this SEN teacher role lets you lead a small class in a calm, specialist space within a mainstream primary school. These provisions go by different names (SEN hub, SEND hub, inclusion room, learning support base, resourced provision), but the role is the same: a SEN teacher teaching a small group of primary-aged pupils with additional needs. Day-to-day and long-term SEN teacher roles are available, with permanent opportunities for the right teacher.

- Teach pupils with SEN needs such as Autism, ADHD, SEMH and speech, language and communication difficulties
- Deliver phonics, early reading, writing and maths, adapted to each pupil’s level of need
- Work towards EHCP and SEN support plan targets, and contribute to annual reviews as the class teacher
- Work with the SENCO as a SEN teacher, following the graduated approach (assess, plan, do, review)
- Plan and support pupils’ reintegration into mainstream lessons, liaising with mainstream class teachers
- Lead and work alongside teaching assistants and 1:1 SEN support staff within the provision
- Support emotional regulation and behaviour using calm, consistent, relational strategies
- Liaise with parents/carers and external professionals
- Follow school safeguarding procedures at all times
Requirements for the SEN Teacher:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) essential
- Experience teaching in a primary school (EYFS, KS1 or KS2)
- A genuine passion for SEN, and for teaching pupils with SEN
- Experience as a SEN teacher, or in a SEN hub, resource base or specialist provision, is desirable
- Knowledge of the SEN Code of Practice and adaptive teaching
- A patient, resilient and reflective teacher
- Team Teach or similar training is desirable but not essential
- Available to start immediately or at short notice
Why Work as a SEN Teacher With Us:
