Qualified SEN Teacher – Special Needs School
Location: Croydon
Pay: £201 – £267 per day PAYE, dependent on experience
Contract: Agency – Long-Term, Temporary or Temporary-to-Permanent
Hours: Full-Time | Monday to Friday | Term Time Only

Starfyn Education is looking for passionate, dedicated and experienced Qualified Teachers to join our SEN school network.
We work with specialist schools supporting children and young people with a wide range of additional needs, including Autism (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), complex needs and communication difficulties.

This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who wants to make a genuine difference to pupils' lives, working within supportive specialist environments where progress isn't measured solely by academic achievement. You'll have the opportunity to help pupils develop their communication, confidence, independence, life skills and engagement with the world around them.

The Role As an SEN Teacher, you will be responsible for creating an engaging, inclusive and supportive learning environment that enables pupils with additional needs to make meaningful progress.

Your responsibilities may include:

Planning and delivering creative, differentiated and accessible lessons
Adapting the curriculum around pupils' individual abilities and EHCP outcomes
Teaching pupils on a 1:1, small-group and whole-class basis
Supporting pupils with a wide range of learning and communication needs
Creating engaging learning opportunities incorporating sensory and practical activities
Developing pupils' communication, independence, social skills and life skills
Monitoring, assessing and recording individual pupil progress
Developing positive and consistent approaches to behaviour
Supporting pupils with emotional regulation and behaviours that may challenge
Working closely with SEN Teaching Assistants and LSAs to ensure effective classroom support
Collaborating with therapists, families and other professionals
Contributing to EHCP reviews, reports and wider multidisciplinary meetings where required
Creating a safe, nurturing and positive classroom environment
Maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding and pupil welfareDepending on the needs of the school, some pupils may require support with physical disabilities, medical needs, feeding, mobility or personal care, with appropriate training and support provided.
What We're Looking For We are looking for teachers who genuinely want to work within Special Educational Needs education and understand that every pupil's progress and achievements will look different.

The ideal candidate will:

Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an appropriate recognised teaching qualification
Have previous teaching experience within an SEN, specialist or mainstream environment
Have experience or a strong understanding of ASD, SLD, PMLD, MLD or complex needs
Be confident differentiating lessons to meet individual learning levels
Have excellent classroom and behaviour management skills
Be patient, resilient, creative and adaptable
Have strong communication and interpersonal skills
Be comfortable leading and directing classroom support staff
Understand the importance of safeguarding and promoting pupil welfare
Be passionate about helping children and young people achieve their individual potentialPrevious SEN teaching experience is highly desirable; however, we are also interested in speaking with qualified mainstream teachers looking to transition into specialist education.

Why SEN Teaching?
Working within an SEN school gives you the opportunity to celebrate achievements that can have a profound impact on a young person's life.
For one pupil, progress might mean completing an academic task independently. For another, it could be communicating a choice, developing a new life skill, regulating their emotions, engaging with a sensory activity or becoming more independent with their daily routines.
You'll work alongside dedicated support staff and other professionals to provide each pupil with an education tailored around their individual needs, abilities and aspirations.

Opportunities are available across:
Long-Term | Temporary | Temporary-to-Permanent | Full-Time

As an agency worker, you are paid for the days you work and will therefore not paid during school holidays.
