About the role of SEND PSHE Teacher:
As a SEND PSHE Teacher based in this highly complex setting, you will be responsible for delivering creative and engaging lessons for small groups of 4 to 6 children.

You will work with the school's multidisciplinary therapy team, helping students find ways to do the things they need and want to do. This opportunity will suit a teacher who has a passion and natural ability to engage hard to reach pupils and those with strong classroom presence.

The school values pupil progress and it is a positive and safe learning environment where staff moral is high.
