Job Description

SEN Teacher – Islington

Are you a qualified teacher looking for a role where you can make a real difference to pupils with additional needs?

A specialist SEN school in Islington is looking for a committed and adaptable SEN Teacher to join their team.

This would suit an experienced SEN teacher, but we're also keen to hear from mainstream Primary teachers who are considering a move into specialist education.

The Role

  • Teach a small class of pupils with a range of additional needs

  • Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons

  • Adapt the curriculum to individual learning needs

  • Support pupils' communication, confidence and independence

  • Build positive relationships with pupils who may find mainstream education challenging

  • Work closely with Teaching Assistants and the wider SEN team

  • Track progress and contribute to individual targets

  • Use practical and creative approaches to engage learners

  • Maintain a calm, structured and positive classroom environment

About You

We're looking for a teacher who is:

  • QTS qualified

  • Patient, consistent and adaptable

  • Confident managing a classroom and differentiating learning

  • Able to build strong relationships with pupils

  • Resilient and positive in their approach

  • Passionate about helping young people make progress

SEN experience is beneficial but not essential. If you're a strong mainstream teacher with good classroom management, differentiation and relationship-building skills, we'd be interested in speaking with you.

Know a teacher who could be a good fit? Send them our way — successful referrals are rewarded.
