You will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of the school curriculum in a way that maximises pupils' achievement and ability to develop. The pupils may display some challenging behaviour due to their different needs, so staff are required to have experience.

Within this role, you will teach pupils in a fun and engaging way.

You will provide feedback to SLT, parents and carers.

For this role, you should:

• Have previous experience teaching in an SEN school or extensive experience working with pupils with complex additional needs.
• Have experience teaching and be able to plan fun and engaging sessions.
• Have a UK QTS or QTLS - this is an essential qualification for the role
