Send Teacher

SEND Teacher (MLD & ASD Focus)

Location: Liverpool - L16

Contract Type: Full-time, Temp-to-Perm 

Hours: 08:30 – 15:30, Monday to Friday

Are you a passionate educator who believes that every child, regardless of their starting point, deserves an environment where they can thrive? We are looking for a dedicated SEND Teacher to join our vibrant school community on a long-term basis.

The Teaching Role

This is a classroom-based role focusing primarily on children with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). You will be responsible for creating a nurturing, structured environment that allows students to build confidence and independence.

While the school caters to some complex needs and students with epilepsy, you will be supported by a highly skilled team of 1:1 Teaching Assistants who manage specific medical and behavioral requirements, allowing you to focus on high-quality, adaptive teaching.

Key Responsibilities

• Tailored Curriculum: Plan and deliver creative, sensory-aware lessons adapted to individual Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs).

• Progress Tracking: Use small-step assessment frameworks to celebrate every milestone.

• Collaboration: Lead a team of TAs effectively to ensure consistent support across the classroom.

• Environment: Foster a "low-arousal" classroom setting that supports the sensory needs of ASD learners.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is preferred, though highly experienced SEND practitioners are encouraged to apply.

• Resilience & Empathy: A genuine desire to understand the "why" behind a child’s behavior.

• Experience: Previous experience with ASD/MLD is essential; knowledge of PECS, Makaton, or Team Teach is a massive bonus.

• Commitment: This is a Temp-to-Perm position. We are looking for someone who wants to become a pillar of our school community.

Why Join Us?

• Better Work-Life Balance: Rare 15:30 finish to help you reclaim your afternoons.

• Exceptional Support: Robust 1:1 TA support for complex medical needs (including epilepsy).

• Career Growth: A clear pathway from temporary placement to a permanent contract.

• Purpose: The chance to make a profound, lasting impact on the lives of neurodivergent young people.
