We are currently recruiting for a passionate and dedicated SEND Primary Teacher to join a specialist Special Educational Needs (SEN) school in Sidcup. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified teacher who is experienced or interested in working within SEND education, primary teaching, and alternative provision settings.

This role is ideal for a committed educator who is confident teaching pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and learning difficulties, and who is able to deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to individual needs.

About The School

The school is a supportive and inclusive SEN primary and specialist provision that caters for pupils with a range of additional needs.

The school promotes

• Inclusive and adaptive SEND teaching strategies
• A nurturing and structured learning environment
