Schools Mutual Services West Midlands is seeking a passionate, caring and dedicated SEN Teacher to join a supportive school in the Birmingham area.

This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified teacher who is passionate about helping children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) achieve their potential.

The successful candidate will provide engaging and accessible learning experiences tailored to individual pupils’ needs. You will work alongside Teaching Assistants, SENCOs and other education professionals to create a positive, structured and inclusive environment where pupils can develop academically, socially and emotionally.

We are looking for someone who has:

Previous experience teaching within an SEN school or supporting pupils with additional needs would be highly beneficial. Experience working with EHCPs and adapting learning for different abilities and needs would also be advantageous.

Applications are also welcomed from qualified teachers who are keen to develop their SEND experience and can demonstrate the patience, adaptability and commitment required to support pupils with additional needs.
