Special Educational Needs Teacher’s Required

Leeds Based Schools

Supply Desk are currently recruiting for Special Educational needs (SEN) teacher’s for a variety of assignments within Leeds from regular ad hoc work, short term and longer term opportunities for the new Academic year. The role of this teacher is to work with children and young people who need extra support, or require an advanced programme of learning in order to reach their full educational potential.

SEN teachers may work with individuals who have physical disabilities, sensory impairments (i.e. hearing or visual), speech and language difficulties, learning difficulties such as dyslexia, conditions such as autism, social, emotional and mental health needs, or have a combination of these difficulties.

A SEN teacher may also work with gifted and talented individuals and be required to offer 1-2-1 support. Working in line with tailored Individual Education Plans (IEP’s or PEP’), to ensure that all pupils are given the appropriate care and support to help nurture them into learning new skills and abilities.

A key aspect of working in this field is identifying individual needs and being responsible for creating a safe, stimulating and supportive learning environment.
