SEN Teacher

SEN Teacher – Specialist Provision in Bexley

A specialist school in Bexley is seeking an SEN Teacher to join its team from September, offering a rare opportunity to work in a highly supportive environment focused on meaningful progress for students with additional needs. The school supports pupils with autism, communication difficulties, and SEMH needs through a structured, relationship-led approach that prioritises consistency, emotional regulation, and personalised learning. Staff are given the time and support needed to build strong classroom routines and deliver genuinely tailored teaching. This SEN Teacher role would suit either an experienced practitioner or an ECT with a clear interest in specialist education and inclusive teaching. The school has developed a strong reputation for nurturing staff who want to build long-term careers within SEN.

Teaching here is collaborative and purposeful. Class sizes are small, allowing teachers to understand pupils properly and adapt lessons to meet individual EHCP targets and learning profiles. As an SEN Teacher, you’ll work closely with therapists, pastoral staff, and experienced support assistants, helping pupils develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Senior leaders are visible throughout the school and place strong emphasis on staff wellbeing, reflective practice, and ongoing development. For teachers looking to move away from mainstream pressures into a setting where relationships and progress matter deeply, this is a rewarding next step.
