SEND Teacher - Specialist Provision within a Mainstream Primary School

Tower Hamlets MPS1-MPS6 Full Academic Year (Apply online only)

Daily rate: MPS 3 to MPS 6: 226 - 268 based on experience

This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving and expanding specialist provision that sits within a welcoming and inclusive mainstream primary school.

Now entering its third successful year, the provision has been developed with the invaluable support and expertise of Phoenix School and has become an integral part of the school's commitment to meeting the needs of children with complex SEND.

Due to the continued success of the provision and the increasing needs of pupils, the school is expanding from one class to two classes. As a result, they are seeking a dedicated and skilled SEND teacher.

Teacher to lead one of the cohorts and help shape the next exciting chapter of this provision's development.

• Two classes of 10 pupils each
• Two dedicated SEND Teachers
• Five experienced and committed Teaching Assistants
• A highly cooperative leadership team and wider school staff

One class consists of Year 1 pupils, while the second class includes children from Years 2-5. One pupil currently accesses some mainstream lessons; however, the most of pupils are educated within the provision for the entirety of their school day.

The children are exceptionally well known by staff across the school, and there is a genuine whole-school commitment to ensuring every child succeeds. This is a setting where inclusion is lived rather than simply discussed.

• Lead a class of up to 10 pupils with complex SEND needs
• Work alongside an experienced team of Teaching Assistants
• Collaborate closely with the second SEND Teacher to develop curriculum, provision, and practice
• Build on the strong foundations already established within this highly respected provision
• Play a key role in supporting pupils' academic, social, emotional, and communication development

Visitors consistently comment on the warmth, collegiality, and sense of purpose that runs through the school. Staff are supportive of one another, leaders are approachable, and there is a genuine team ethos.

The vacancy has arisen solely because of the provision's success and expansion—not because of staff turnover. The school recognises that finding the right person is critical and is committed to supporting the successful candidate every step of the way.

• Has experience working with children with SEND, either in a specialist or mainstream setting
• Demonstrates patience, creativity, resilience, and high expectations
• Is committed to inclusive education and child‑centred practice
• Thrives as part of a cooperative team
• Wants to make a significant difference to the lives of a small group of pupils and their families
