About the Role

Specialist SEN Teacher – Inspire Independence, Empower Futures
Location: London Borough of Havering
Start Date: September 2024
Permanent Position
Salary: £36,000 – £54,000 + SEN Allowance

A highly regarded SEN school in Havering is seeking a dedicated and skilled SEN Teacher to join their team on a permanent basis from September 2024. Whether you’re an experienced SEN practitioner or a passionate mainstream teacher seeking a meaningful new direction, this is an opportunity to step into a role where your work is seen, your ideas are valued, and your impact is real.

Why Consider This School?

Here, special educational needs are not an add-on—they are the foundation. Purpose-built facilities, specialist resources, and a leadership team that invests in both pupils and staff create an environment where meaningful teaching can flourish.

This role will focus on post-16 learners, helping young people with complex needs—including Autism—build the skills and confidence they need to transition into adulthood. The curriculum emphasises functional life skills, communication, independence, and preparing students for further education, supported living, or adult services.

You will be joining a collaborative, experienced team where peer support and professional development are prioritised. The school’s calm, respectful ethos extends to everyone—pupils, families, and staff alike.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Delivering engaging, purposeful lessons tailored to the needs of post-16 learners
Supporting students in developing key life skills and communication strategies
Creating a structured, safe learning environment that promotes independence
Working closely with colleagues, therapists, and support staff to track progress and adapt learning pathways
Championing each student’s personal and educational journey with empathy and high expectations

Is This Role Right for You?

You may already be teaching in SEN or be a mainstream teacher who’s ready for a new challenge. If you are:

A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent)
Passionate about inclusive education and working with students with Autism and complex needs
Committed to helping young people build the skills they need beyond the classroom
Able to approach behaviour as a form of communication, with patience and understanding

…then this could be the perfect next step in your teaching journey.

What the School Offers You:

A permanent, full-time role with scope to grow
SEN-specific resources and a calm, well-supported teaching environment
A forward-thinking leadership team focused on wellbeing and development
Access to specialist CPD and pathways for career progression
Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Employee Assistance Programme, and wellbeing initiatives
A school community that values your contribution and recognises your expertise
