You will lead a SEN class supported by 2-3 experienced teaching assistants, within a highly structured and nurturing environment. Some KS5 learners are also supported to access Functional Skills qualifications, with a strong emphasis on independence and preparation for adulthood.

* Facilitate group-based learning, adapting teaching approaches to suit varying abilities and communication needs
* Support learners in developing communication, social, and independence skills
* Prepare and support KS5 pupils in Functional Skills and life skills development
* Work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and parents to ensure holistic support
* Promote both academic progress and personal development for each pupil
* Contribute to the inclusive, child-centred ethos of the school
