About the Role
Unqualified SEN Teacher – Autism, ADHD & SEMH
September 2025 Start | Long-Term to Permanent
£130 - £170 per day PAYE (based on experience)
Secondary Phase | Richmond Upon Thames
Are you an experienced unqualified teacher ready to advance your career?
We’re collaborating with a great specialist school in the Richmond borough. This school is part of a well-respected trust known for its caring and therapeutic approach. It supports secondary-aged students with Autism, ADHD, and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many of the students have faced trauma or exclusion, and all have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
They are now seeking an unqualified teacher who is prepared to step up. You should be confident leading lessons, calm under pressure, and genuinely dedicated to helping young people feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
You do not need QTS yet, but you should have:
- Strong classroom experience with young people who have Autism, SEMH, and/or complex needs
- Confidence in planning and delivering structured lessons or activities
- Excellent behaviour management based on consistency and empathy
- A long-term mindset, making this ideal for someone aiming for teacher training or QTS
The role involves:
- Teaching small secondary classes of students with a mix of academic and emotional needs
- Delivering lessons across a wide curriculum with support and mentoring from senior staff
- Working closely with the school’s therapeutic and pastoral team
- Establishing consistent routines and relationships with students who thrive on trust and safety
- Using trauma-informed, relational methods to manage behaviour
This would suit someone who:
- Has experience as a TA, HLTA, Behaviour Mentor, or Cover Supervisor in SEND or PRU settings
- Wants to obtain QTS or begin an unqualified path into teaching
- Has strong instincts in the classroom and enjoys helping students grow in confidence
- Is calm, emotionally mature, and ready for a true challenge and real impact
Why this school?
- Part of a respected trust that invests in staff and promotes from within
- Supportive Senior Leadership Team and a team that genuinely supports one another
- Solid Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and career paths toward teacher training
- Long-term role with the potential for permanent placement
- PAYE only, with no umbrella deductions, just straightforward and fair pay

Richmond, South West London
£95–£110 per day (PAYE, term-time only)
Full-time, long-term placement | ASAP start
About the Role
Some children hear the world differently. For them, communication is connection. When a pupil finally understands a story, a joke, or a simple “well done” through your signing, it’s magic. That’s the difference you’ll make every single day.
We are working with a warm and inclusive primary school in Richmond that supports both deaf and hearing pupils. The school has a well-established HI Unit and works closely with Teachers of the Deaf, Speech and Language Therapists, and a small team of signing specialists.
As a BSL Teaching Assistant/Communication Support Worker, you will play a crucial role in making learning accessible and enjoyable for every child.
Key Responsibilities
Support pupils who are deaf or have partial hearing loss across EYFS and Key Stages 1–2
Use British Sign Language (BSL) and visual communication strategies to bring lessons to life
Build pupils’ confidence, independence, and social skills
Work collaboratively with Teachers of the Deaf, classroom teachers, and therapists
Adapt communication so every child feels included and understood
About You
Hold BSL Level 2, or BSL Level 1 with strong practical or personal signing experience (e.g. deaf family members or experience in the Deaf community)
Patient, empathetic, and passionate about inclusive education
Find joy in small achievements: a child’s first signed story, a moment of shared laughter, or a breakthrough in confidence
Looking for a long-term, stable role where you can truly make a difference
Why Join This School
Supportive, close-knit team specialising in deaf education
Opportunities for ongoing BSL training and progression (up to Level 3 and beyond)
Inclusive, nurturing environment where staff and pupils are equally valued
PAYE pay only – no umbrella deductions
Long-term stability with potential for a permanent position

SLD Teacher – Specialist SEN School – Kingston upon Thames
£194.21 - £258.84 PAYE per day, in line with Outer London M1 to M6
Full-Time (term time only)
Some schools simply feel different the moment you walk through the door, calm, happy, and filled with genuine warmth. This is one of those schools.
We are working with an Outstanding specialist school in Kingston upon Thames, designed for children and young people aged 4–19 with Severe and Profound Learning Difficulties (SLD / PMLD), Autism (ASC) and complex communication and sensory needs. Many pupils are non-verbal and use alternative communication systems such as AAC or Makaton; others have physical and medical needs and require personal care and hydrotherapy.
Every aspect of this school has been thoughtfully designed around what its pupils need to thrive, from the light-filled classrooms and sensory studios to the hydrotherapy pool, therapy rooms, and adapted playgrounds.
The curriculum is creative, experiential, and child-centred, focusing on communication, independence, physical development, and emotional well-being as much as academic progress. Teachers are encouraged to explore music, art, movement, and sensory stories to unlock engagement and joy in learning.
You’ll work as part of a truly multidisciplinary team, therapists, HLTAs, and teaching assistants who collaborate daily, celebrating every milestone, no matter how small. The senior leadership team is exceptionally supportive and invests heavily in staff development, from specialist training to well-being initiatives.
Why you will love working here:
A joyful, nurturing environment where pupils are genuinely happy and staff are proud to be part of the community
Outstanding leadership with a clear, compassionate vision
Small class sizes and excellent adult-to-pupil ratios
Fully resourced classrooms with therapy and sensory support integrated into learning
A focus on staff wellbeing, professional growth and collaboration
Outer London teacher pay, paid weekly via PAYE (no umbrella deductions)
Whether you come from a mainstream or specialist background, if you’re a teacher who believes education should meet each child where they are, this school will give you the chance to do your very best work.
