Teacher - SEND​/Specialist Education

Luma are currently recruiting Teachers to join a small, growing specialist education setting in Coventry, where pupils benefit from small class sizes and a more personalised approach to learning.

This is an opportunity to join a school that is continuing to develop and grow, with the chance to build your experience, learn from experienced colleagues and play a part in the school's continued development.

Are you an ECT looking for the right environment to develop your teaching career, or an experienced teacher considering a change from mainstream education?

• Planning and delivering engaging, personalised lessons

• Experienced SEND teachers looking for a new challenge
