Planning and delivering engaging, tailored learning experiences to meet the individual developmental and sensory needs of each pupil.

Leading a small class team (including Teaching Assistants) to provide consistent, nurturing, and structured support.

Embedding trauma-informed, attachment-aware practice in all aspects of teaching and class management.

Promoting emotional regulation, wellbeing, and learning through predictable routines, sensory integration, and relationship-based approaches.

Managing and responding calmly and reflectively to behaviours which challenge as expressions of need or distress.

Collaborating closely with therapists, families, and multi-agency professionals to ensure a holistic approach to each child's education and care.

About You:

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with substantial experience teaching pupils with SLD, PMLD, or complex needs.

Confident in developing and implementing highly personalised curricula and communication systems.

Skilled in behavioural analysis, trauma-informed approaches, and sensory regulation strategies.

Emotionally resilient, reflective, and committed to professional development and inclusive practice.

Passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful learning environment for children with significant barriers to learning.
