Are you a passionate educator committed to breaking down barriers to learning?

We are seeking a resilient, empathetic, and highly skilled Qualified Teacher (QTS) to join a dedicated SEND team in Colchester
.

This is an opportunity to work within a supportive environment catering to students with diverse needs, including ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health), and complex learning difficulties. You will be responsible for delivering a highly differentiated curriculum that prioritises both academic progress and personal wellbeing.

• Tailored Delivery: Plan and execute lessons that accommodate varying P-Levels and individual education plans (IEPs).
• Holistic Support: Collaborate with Teaching Assistants, therapists, and parents to ensure a 360-degree support system for every pupil.
• Behavioural Leadership: Utilise positive reinforcement and de-escalation strategies to maintain a safe, productive learning space.
• Assessment: Monitor and record small-step progress, celebrating every victory-no matter how small.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.
• Proven experience working with SEND learners (special school or mainstream resource base).
• A "child-first" mindset with the patience to adapt to changing classroom dynamics.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead a small team of support staff.

At the heart of SEND education is the belief that every child deserves a champion. If you are a teacher who looks beyond the diagnosis to find the potential within, we want to hear from you. Join us in making a tangible difference in the lives of young people in Colchester.
