Children are waiting for the right support. Could you help us make that happen?

SEND Inclusion Support urgently needs qualified Nurture Teachers in Wigan to support children and young people who are waiting for suitable educational provision.

We work with pupils who cannot always access mainstream education and need a more individualised approach. Through our Nurture Pathway, we provide personalised teaching that helps children reconnect with learning, build confidence and make meaningful progress.

We're looking for teachers who can offer availability locally and are ready to make a difference.

You'll deliver individualised teaching, working closely with a pupil to develop a programme that reflects their needs, interests and educational goals.

Depending on the pupil, this may involve

Supporting children and young people with SEND, autism, SEMH needs, anxiety or emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA).

Delivering one-to-one education in the home, community or online, depending on the agreed provision.

Re-engaging pupils who have struggled to access education.

Planning meaningful learning across literacy, numeracy, communication, independence and wider development.

Building positive relationships and creating a calm, consistent learning environment.

Monitoring progress and completing regular reports.

Working collaboratively with families and other professionals.

We know that moving into individualised SEND teaching is a big decision. We want our teachers to feel supported, equipped and confident in their work.

You'll receive

£26-£32 per hour.

Flexible, part-time opportunities.

Access to our bespoke Nurture Curriculum, giving you structured resources and progression to work from.

Paid planning time in line with our arrangements.

Ongoing specialist guidance and support.

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

The flexibility to adapt teaching to each pupil rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

You won't be expected to create everything from scratch. Our Nurture Curriculum provides a starting point, while your professional judgement allows you to shape learning around the individual child.

You must hold QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification and have experience supporting children or young people with SEND.

We'd particularly welcome applications from teachers with experience in

Special schools or specialist provisions.

Alternative provision and EOTAS.

Autism and complex SEND.

SEMH, anxiety and EBSA.

Outreach or one-to-one teaching.

Mainstream teachers with the right experience and a genuine interest in personalised SEND education are encouraged to apply.

We urgently need teachers with availability in Wigan. If you can offer even a few hours a week, please get in touch to discuss the pupils who need support and whether the work would suit your availability.

Apply now to join SEND Inclusion Support and help us get children back into meaningful learning.
