JOB OVERVIEW

Location: Dudley, West Midlands
Start date: Immediate
Contract: Full-time, long-term supply
Opportunity: Potential temporary-to-permanent placement
Pay: Competitive daily rate, dependent on qualifications and experience

This is a full-time, long-term position with the potential to develop into a temporary-to-permanent placement for the right candidate.

Schools Mutual Services is seeking a committed and experienced KS3 Teacher to support a specialist school in Dudley with immediate effect.

The school supports children and young people aged 4 to 19 with severe and profound learning difficulties, including pupils with autism spectrum conditions and complex medical needs.

You will teach a small KS3 class of approximately 10 pupils, supported by experienced Teaching Assistants. This is an excellent opportunity for a compassionate and adaptable teacher who can create meaningful learning experiences, celebrate individual progress and help every pupil achieve their potential.

This is a full-time, long-term position with the potential to develop into a temporary-to-permanent placement for the right candidate.

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Qualified Teacher Status – candidates must hold QTS to be considered.
  • Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEND.
  • The ability to plan and deliver differentiated learning for pupils with a wide range of needs.
  • A patient, caring and flexible approach.
  • Strong classroom leadership and effective communication skills.
  • The confidence to lead and work collaboratively with Teaching Assistants.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and improving outcomes for children and young people.
  • An enhanced DBS registered with the Update Service, or willingness to complete the required checks.

Experience within a specialist school would be beneficial, although applications are welcomed from qualified teachers with relevant SEND experience who are ready to bring their skills into a specialist setting.

Why work with Schools Mutual Services?

When you join us, you can expect:

  • Competitive rates of pay reflecting your qualifications and experience.

  • A long-term opportunity with the potential to secure a permanent position.
  • Support from an experienced education recruitment team.
  • A transparent, ethical and personal service.
  • Opportunities matched to your experience, skills and availability.
