About the Role
Special Needs Teacher - Primary
A role with the environment & resources you deserve.
Location: North London (Barnet)
Salary: MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance
Contract Type: Permanent, Full-Time
As a Special Needs Primary Teacher, you are forever thinking about the children whose lives you are changing daily. Their individual needs, their learning journey and the hurdles you are helping them navigate daily.
Your knowledge of autism, communication needs, and social-emotional challenges serves you well in creating an inclusive and personalised approach to learning. Despite the physically and mentally challenging elements of a role such as yours, you find the job rewarding…..
….however, maybe it is time for you to start thinking about you, your career, and how a change could enable you to deliver with even greater impact than you do currently.
This school, based in Barnet, provides high-quality education and support for children with a range of learning difficulties and disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum.
The school is very proud of their inclusive education framework, always adapting teaching strategies where necessary to meet the diverse needs of their pupils. So naturally, you would be working closely with families, therapists, and support staff to develop individual learning plans and meet EHCP requirements.
Challenging roles should always be provided with the resources required to deliver the expected high standards. With extremely well-equipped classrooms, strong therapeutic support and a curriculum tailored to individual learning needs, this school is a shining example of such provisions. Combined with access to a swimming pool, cooking room, sensory rooms, and gardens to support a rich and engaging learning environment, you will feel supported in everything you are working to deliver for both pupils and colleagues.
If this opportunity fits with your current circumstances and ambition, please contact us to discuss how we can guide and advise you going forward. Whether it is this specific role or other SEND teaching opportunities, we can help you find the right next step for your career.

Your deep knowledge of Science, combined with an understanding of social, emotional, and mental health needs, allows you to bring creativity, structure, and empathy into the classroom. And while the job has its challenges, you find the role deeply fulfilling.

You would be delivering Science across KS3 to KS5, including GCSE and A-Level, helping students re-engage with academic study and develop confidence in their abilities. You’ll have access to excellent resources and the autonomy to create a curriculum that excites and challenges. Most importantly, you’ll have the time, support, and space to teach in the way you always hoped was possible.
What You’ll Be Doing
Plan and deliver engaging Science lessons across secondary age groups, tailored to students' needs
Teach GCSE and A-Level Science in a nurturing environment
Act as a form tutor/key teacher, supporting students' academic and emotional development

Who We’re Looking For
A qualified teacher (QTS) with the ability to teach Science at secondary level

We specialise exclusively in SEND recruitment and understand your expertise
PAYE only – no umbrella deductions or hidden fees
