Secondary SEN Teacher - Autism & Complex Needs

Luton, Bedfordshire | Specialist SEN School | Full-Time | Long-Term
£220 - £290 per day | Immediate / January Start

Are you an experienced SEN Teacher looking for a long-term opportunity within a specialist secondary setting?

Do you enjoy working with young people who need a highly individualised approach to communication, behaviour and learning?

Would you like to join a growing specialist school where teachers have the freedom to adapt the curriculum around each pupil rather than expecting every learner to follow the same route?

A specialist SEN school based in Luton is looking to appoint an experienced Secondary SEN Teacher to join its team on a full-time, long-term basis.

The school supports secondary-aged pupils with a broad range of additional needs, including Autism, ADHD, communication difficulties, learning disabilities, sensory needs and associated behavioural or developmental needs.

All pupils have individualised learning needs and require teaching to be adapted around their ability, communication profile and EHCP outcomes. Some pupils access more formal academic learning, while others require a semi-formal or developmental curriculum focused more heavily on communication, independence and functional skills.

The successful teacher will lead a small specialist class supported by experienced Teaching Assistants and work closely with therapists and wider professionals to ensure pupils receive consistent support throughout the school day.

This is a particularly good opportunity for a teacher who enjoys structure, relationship-building and practical learning, and who understands that successful SEN teaching is about identifying what enables each individual pupil to engage.

Key Responsibilities

• Take responsibility for a specialist class of secondary-aged pupils with SEND.
• Plan and deliver highly differentiated lessons based around individual starting points and EHCP outcomes.
• Support pupils with Autism, ADHD, communication needs and complex additional needs.
• Adapt curriculum content significantly according to pupils' developmental and academic levels.
• Deliver appropriate English and Maths alongside wider curriculum learning.
• Provide practical, activity-based and functional learning opportunities where appropriate.
• Support pupils who may be working significantly below age-related expectations.
• Develop communication, confidence, independence and engagement with learning.
• Use clear routines and predictable classroom structures to help pupils feel safe and ready to learn.
• Allow appropriate processing time and adapt communication according to individual pupil needs.
• Use visual supports and alternative communication strategies where appropriate.
• Support pupils who may be non-speaking or have significant communication differences.
• Promote emotional regulation through positive and proactive approaches.
• Understand behaviour as communication and identify the underlying reasons behind behaviours that may challenge.
• Create a calm, consistent classroom environment with clear expectations and boundaries.
• Use pupils' interests and strengths to increase motivation and engagement.
• Develop functional literacy and numeracy where appropriate.
• Support pupils to develop practical life skills and greater independence.
• Prepare older pupils for the next stage of their education and eventual adulthood.
• Set and review individual learning targets.
• Monitor and evidence progress through assessment and observation.
• Contribute to EHCP reviews, Annual Reviews and wider pupil planning.
• Lead and effectively deploy Teaching Assistants within the classroom.
• Ensure support staff understand individual communication, behavioural and learning strategies.
• Work collaboratively with Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and other specialist professionals.
• Incorporate recommendations from therapists into everyday classroom practice.
• Build positive relationships with parents and carers.
• Maintain high standards of safeguarding, pupil welfare and professional practice.

We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• Experience teaching secondary-aged pupils.
• Previous experience within SEND, Autism or specialist educationwould be highly advantageous.
• Experience supporting pupils with Autism, ADHD or additional learning needs.
• Confidence teaching pupils working across a wide range of ability levels.
• A strong understanding of adaptive teaching and differentiation.
• The ability to plan around individual starting points rather than relying solely on age-related expectations.
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills.
• A calm and consistent approach to supporting pupils with behavioural or emotional needs.
• An understanding that behaviour can be a form of communication.
• Confidence working with pupils who may require additional processing time or alternative methods of communication.
• The ability to make learning practical, engaging and meaningful.
• Strong relationship-building skills.
• Confidence leading Teaching Assistants and maintaining consistency across a classroom team.
• The ability to work effectively with therapists and multidisciplinary professionals.
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• A genuine commitment to developing pupils' confidence and independence.

Previous specialist SEN experience would be highly desirable, although applications are also welcomed from strong mainstream Secondary Teachers with significant SEND experience who want to develop their career within specialist education.

Why Consider This Role?

This is an opportunity to join a growing specialist SEN school where the curriculum is built around the learner rather than forcing every pupil through the same pathway.

Depending on individual need, pupils may access more formal academic teaching or a highly personalised programme focused on communication, functional learning, independence and preparation for adulthood.

Classes are supported by experienced staff, allowing teachers to properly understand individual pupils and adapt teaching around how they communicate, learn and regulate.

The school also takes a collaborative approach, with teachers working alongside Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and wider professionals to ensure strategies are embedded throughout everyday learning.

This would suit an experienced Secondary or SEN Teacher who enjoys working creatively, building strong relationships and seeing progress that extends beyond purely academic outcomes.

SEN Teacher - Primary, Secondary & Post-16

Uxbridge, West London | Specialist SEN School | Full-Time | Long-Term
£220 - £290 per day | Immediate / January Start

Are you an experienced Teacher looking for a long-term opportunity within specialist education?

Do you enjoy adapting learning around the individual pupil rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach?

Would you like to join a supportive specialist setting with opportunities across Primary, Secondary and Post-16 provision?

A well-established specialist SEN school in Uxbridge is looking to appoint experienced Teachers to join its team on a long-term basis.

The school supports children and young people with a broad range of additional needs, including Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), Autism, communication needs, sensory differences, physical needs and wider SEND.

There are currently opportunities across different areas of the school, including KS2 class teaching and Secondary/Post-16 PPA cover, with final placement dependent on individual experience, strengths and preference.

Pupils have varied learning profiles and may be working significantly below age-related expectations. Teaching therefore needs to be flexible, highly differentiated and focused around each pupil's individual starting point, EHCP outcomes and wider developmental needs.

Depending on the class, learning may range from more traditional English, Maths and subject-based teaching through to functional learning, communication, independence, life skills and preparation for adulthood.

Classes are small and supported by experienced Teaching Assistants, allowing teachers to build strong relationships with pupils and deliver meaningful, individualised learning.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver engaging, highly differentiated lessons for pupils with SEND.
• Teach pupils across Primary, Secondary or Post-16 provision, depending on placement.
• Adapt curriculum content around individual starting points, needs and EHCP outcomes.
• Deliver appropriate English and Maths alongside wider curriculum learning.
• Support pupils with MLD, Autism, communication difficulties and additional learning needs.
• Use practical, creative and functional approaches to make learning accessible and meaningful.
• Support pupils who may be working significantly below age-related expectations.
• Create calm, structured and predictable classroom environments.
• Promote communication, confidence, engagement and independence.
• Use visual supports and alternative communication approaches where appropriate.
• Support pupils with emotional regulation and sensory needs.
• Develop functional literacy and numeracy where appropriate.
• Support older pupils with life skills, independence and preparation for adulthood.
• Use assessment and observation to identify meaningful next steps.
• Monitor academic, social and personal progress.
• Contribute to EHCP outcomes, Annual Reviews and individual target setting.
• Lead and effectively deploy Teaching Assistants within the classroom.
• Maintain consistency with established pupil routines and individual support strategies.
• Work closely with therapists and wider specialist professionals.
• Build positive relationships with parents and carers.
• Support transitions between classes, phases and stages of education.
• Maintain high standards of safeguarding, pupil welfare and professional practice.

We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
• Experience teaching children or young people with SEND.
• Previous Primary, Secondary or Post-16 teaching experience.
• Experience supporting pupils with MLD, Autism or additional learning needswould be particularly beneficial.
• Strong knowledge of adaptive teaching and differentiation.
• Confidence teaching pupils working across a broad range of developmental levels.
• The ability to adapt curriculum content significantly where required.
• Strong classroom and behaviour management skills.
• A calm, patient and consistent approach.
• The ability to establish positive relationships quickly.
• Confidence leading and directing Teaching Assistants.
• Strong assessment, organisation and communication skills.
• The ability to work collaboratively with therapists, families and wider professionals.
• A genuine commitment to helping pupils with SEND make meaningful academic, social and personal progress.

Previous specialist-school experience is highly desirable, although applications are also welcomed from strong mainstream teachers with substantial SEND experience who are looking to move into specialist education.

The Opportunity

This is a particularly good opportunity for teachers who enjoy working in a highly personalised environment and want the chance to work across different areas of specialist education.

For Primary-focused teachers, opportunities may involve leading a small KS2 class, delivering English, Maths and wider curriculum learning while adapting teaching around pupils with MLD and additional needs.

For teachers with Secondary or Post-16 experience, opportunities may include PPA teaching across a range of classes, delivering both academic and functional learning while supporting young people to develop greater independence and prepare for adulthood.

The school offers small classes, experienced classroom support and access to wider specialist professionals, allowing teachers to focus on the individual pupil and recognise progress that may not always fit traditional age-related measures.

This would suit an experienced Primary, Secondary or SEN Teacher looking for a stable long-term role within a supportive specialist setting.
