Small steps. Big achievements. Life-changing opportunities.

Academics are working with a specialist primary setting in East Sussex to recruit an enthusiastic SEN Teacher who is passionate about helping children with additional needs develop academically, socially and emotionally.

The school supports pupils who may experience autism, speech and language difficulties, sensory needs, developmental delays and other barriers to learning.

This is an opportunity to create meaningful learning experiences for children who benefit from personalised teaching, consistency and a nurturing approach.

The role:

• Plan and deliver engaging lessons adapted to pupils' individual abilities and developmental stages.

• Create a structured, inclusive classroom that encourages participation and confidence.

• Support communication, social interaction, emotional regulation and independence.

• Use practical activities, visual resources and multisensory approaches to enhance learning.

• Work closely with teaching assistants to ensure pupils receive appropriate, individualised support.

• Assess progress against personalised targets and EHCP outcomes.

What we're looking for:

• QTS or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

• Experience teaching primary-aged pupils, ideally within a specialist SEN environment.

• An understanding of differentiation, additional learning needs and inclusive practice.

• A patient, creative and nurturing approach to classroom management.

• A genuine commitment to helping every pupil achieve their potential.

Teachers with mainstream primary experience who are keen to develop their SEN expertise are also encouraged to enquire.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
