SLD Teacher

SLD Teacher – Key Stage 3, Specialist School, Birmingham
Some teaching opportunities are about more than delivering lessons. They are about helping pupils communicate, discover new skills, build confidence and achieve things that genuinely matter to them.

This welcoming specialist school in Birmingham is looking for a caring and experienced SLD Teacher to teach a small Key Stage 3 class of pupils with severe learning difficulties. With two Teaching Assistants supporting you in the classroom, this is an opportunity to really get to know your pupils, understand how they learn and create meaningful learning experiences around their individual needs.

You will be working with pupils who benefit from a highly personalised approach to education, where communication, sensory engagement, independence and small steps of progress are incredibly important. Whether helping a pupil communicate their needs, engage with a new activity or develop greater independence, your teaching will have a real impact on their day-to-day lives.
The school is looking for someone who understands that every pupil learns differently and is confident adapting activities to make learning accessible, enjoyable and purposeful. Knowledge of EYFS approaches, communication books, Makaton and sensory processing needs is essential, alongside Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and previous experience teaching pupils with SEND.
