Primary school teacher with SEN experience

Prospero Teaching is delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a specialist independent school in Melksham for a dedicated and enthusiastic Primary Teacher.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking school that provides education for pupils aged 4-16 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, alongside pupils with complex medical needs. The school prides itself on delivering a highly personalised, therapeutic approach to learning, enabling every child to reach their full potential.

As a Primary Teacher, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons that meet the individual needs of your pupils.

• Plan and deliver creative, engaging lessons tailored to individual learning needs.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with pupils to encourage confidence and engagement.
• Adapt teaching strategies to support a range of learning, emotional, and behavioural needs.
• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, therapists, and the wider school team.
• Monitor pupil progress and contribute to personalised learning plans.
• Foster a positive classroom environment that promotes wellbeing, resilience, and achievement.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent.
• Experience teaching within a primary setting.
• A passion for supporting children with additional needs and helping them achieve their potential.
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills.
• A patient, resilient, and adaptable approach to teaching.
• Previous experience within SEND, SEMH, or specialist education is desirable but not essential.

• Full-time permanent position.
• Small class sizes with excellent staffing ratios.
• A welcoming and supportive leadership team.
• Ongoing professional development and specialist training.
• Opportunities for career progression within a growing specialist education provider.
• The chance to make a meaningful and lasting difference to the lives of children and young people.
