Are you a qualified teacher who wants to make a real difference to children and young people who need a more personalised approach to education?

SEND Inclusion Support is recruiting a Nurture Teacher in Lancaster to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including those who may be unable to access mainstream school consistently.

This is an opportunity to teach differently, delivering meaningful education in a way that works for each individual pupil. Teaching may take place at home, in the community or online, depending on the learner's needs and agreed provision.

You'll have access to our bespoke Nurture Curriculum, giving you a structured foundation for planning personalised learning without having to build everything from scratch.

The Role

As a Nurture Teacher, you'll develop positive relationships with pupils and deliver a tailored programme that supports educational progress and wider development.

Your responsibilities will include

Planning and delivering personalised learning using our bespoke Nurture Curriculum.

Supporting pupils with SEND, autism, anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) and other barriers to education.

Delivering engaging sessions that develop literacy, numeracy, communication and wider learning skills.

Adapting your teaching to suit each pupil's interests, abilities, emotional needs and learning style.

Building trust and helping pupils develop confidence, independence and readiness to learn.

Monitoring progress and completing regular reports.

Working collaboratively with families and other professionals to support consistent outcomes.

You will ideally have

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Experience teaching children or young people with SEND.

An understanding of autism, SEMH, anxiety or barriers to school attendance.

The ability to plan individualised learning and engage pupils who may have disengaged from education.

Strong relationship-building and communication skills.

A flexible, child-centred approach and a commitment to helping every learner progress.

Experience in alternative provision, EOTAS, outreach or one-to-one teaching would be particularly valuable.

Termly Nurture Teacher Days to connect with colleagues, share practice and develop professionally.
