This role is ideal for an individual passionate about inclusive education and dedicated to supporting students in reaching their full potential.

* Individualised Learning Plans: Develop personalised learning plans for each student, setting specific academic, social, and functional learning targets.

* SEN Support: Provide targeted interventions for students with a range of SEN, including autism, dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, ADHD, and other learning barriers.

* Differentiation and Adaptation: Adapt lessons and resources to accommodate different learning styles and ensure that students can access the curriculum in a way that suits their individual needs.

* Progress Monitoring: Track and monitor student progress regularly, providing reports on achievements, challenges, and areas for development. Adjust teaching strategies to improve student outcomes.

* Collaboration with Colleagues: Work closely with other teaching staff, SENCOs, teaching assistants, and parents to create a coordinated and holistic approach to each student’s learning and wellbeing.

* Behaviour and Emotional Support: Use positive behaviour management techniques to support students in engaging with their learning, addressing any emotional or behavioural barriers to learning.

* Assessment for Learning: Use a range of formative and summative assessments to monitor students’ progress and inform future lesson planning.

* Supporting Transitions: Support students during transitions (e.g., from primary to secondary school) by ensuring they have the skills and confidence to succeed in their next learning environment.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Essential. You must be a fully qualified teacher with the appropriate level of certification and experience.

* Experience in SEN: At least 1 year of experience working with primary-aged students with Special Educational Needs (e.g., autism, dyslexia, ADHD, speech and language difficulties).

* Functional Skills Teaching: Experience in delivering Functional Skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication, with a focus on practical, real-world learning.

* Knowledge of SEN Provision: Familiarity with different SEN conditions, individualised teaching methods, and how to adapt lesson plans for students with various needs.

* Differentiated Teaching Techniques: Experience in providing a differentiated curriculum to meet the diverse needs of SEN students.

* Effective Communication Skills: Ability to communicate clearly and empathetically with students, parents, and colleagues.

* Commitment to Inclusion: A strong commitment to creating an inclusive learning environment that allows all students to thrive.

Desirable Skills:

* Experience with EHCPs: Familiarity with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and understanding how to implement specific strategies outlined within these plans.

* Knowledge of SEN Frameworks: Understanding of relevant SEN legislation, frameworks, and best practices in supporting students with additional needs.

* Specialist SEN Training: Additional training or certification in SEN (e.g., Makaton, TEACCH, or Behaviour Management strategies).

* Experience with Assistive Technology: Familiarity with assistive technologies and tools that can support students with learning difficulties (e.g., speech-to-text, screen readers).
