Sen Teacher

Some children have been told "no" by every school they''ve been to. This school says yes, and then proves it.

Principal Education is recruiting an SEN Teacher for a primary SEMH special school in Hayes, Hillingdon. The school supports children aged 3 to 11 with social, emotional and mental health needs, and at its latest Ofsted inspection it was rated Outstanding in every single area: quality of education, behaviour, personal development and leadership. That doesn''t happen by accident. It happens because the adults here get relationships, routine and high expectations right, every day.

It''s a small school, so you won''t be a name on a rota. You''ll know every child, every family and every colleague, and they''ll know you.

The role

You''ll lead a small class of primary aged children who need a teacher who stays calm, stays consistent and doesn''t give up on them.

• Build trust with children who have experienced trauma or disrupted schooling
• Use clear routines and positive behaviour support to help children regulate and feel safe
• Work alongside your class team, leaders and therapists on each child''s EHCP outcomes
• Bring parents and carers with you and celebrate progress together
• Notice the breakthroughs, however small, and build on them

• Calm, confident and relational behaviour management
• Strong primary curriculum knowledge
• Full time availability, Monday to Friday
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one
• Two professional references and the right to work in the UK

Pay and benefits

• Paid to scale on the Outer London pay scale, MPS to UPS depending on experience, paid weekly
• Teach in a school rated Outstanding across the board and learn from leaders at the top of SEMH practice
• Small school, small classes and a team that has your back
• Long term role, so you build real relationships with your class
• A route into a permanent position for the right teacher
• A consultant who meets every candidate personally and actually picks up the phone
