About the Role

SEND Teacher

Location: London Borough of Havering
Start Date: September 2024 (Permanent)
Salary: £36,000 - £54,000 + SEN Allowance

Some teaching roles give you little more than a timetable. Others give you purpose, support, and the resources to change lives.

This is one of those roles.

A highly respected SEN school in Havering is seeking a skilled and passionate SEN teacher to join their team on a permanent basis. If you feel your current role isn’t allowing you to teach in the way you know works best, this is your opportunity to step into a school where your expertise is valued, your voice is heard, and your work makes a tangible difference.

From the moment you step through the doors, you’ll notice the difference. SEN isn’t an afterthought here—it is embedded in the very fabric of the school. Purposefully designed spaces, specialist facilities, and a well-supported team mean you can focus on what you do best: teaching in a way that reaches every child.

The school supports students across both primary and secondary stages and post-16 learners who require specialised education. The post-16 provision focuses on preparing students for the next chapter in their lives, transitioning to adult services, further education, or independent living. This role will involve working with older students, guiding them through the development of functional life skills, enhancing communication, and promoting independence in a supportive, structured setting.

Leadership is proactive, present, and invested in both staff and students. You won’t be left to navigate challenges alone. Collaboration, professional development, and staff wellbeing are priorities, ensuring you feel supported at every step.

What You’ll Be Doing

Engaging and inspiring learners through high expectations and accessible, creative teaching methods.
Supporting post-16 students in developing life skills, independence, and confidence.
Helping students develop communication strategies and manage behaviours in a way that maximises learning.
Taking an analytical approach to tracking progress, ensuring every student has an individualised pathway to success.
Collaborating with a skilled team of teachers who share your passion for inclusive education and making a real impact.

Who This Role is For

A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with experience in SEN settings.
Someone who understands that behaviour is communication and can create engaging, structured learning experiences.
A teacher who is eager to support post-16 students as they develop functional life skills and prepare for life beyond school.
A professional with experience in working with students with complex needs, including Autism, and helping them develop communication and social skills.

What You’ll Find Here

Specialist SEN resources and facilities that allow you to teach without limitations.
A collaborative, experienced team that values professional growth and development.
Leadership that listens, supports, and invests in its staff.
Opportunities for career development and specialised training.
A calm, purposeful, and welcoming learning environment that encourages both personal and professional growth.
Access to a Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Employee Assistance Program, and staff wellbeing initiatives.
