Are you passionate about education and ready to take the next step towards becoming a teacher?

At Hillingdon Manor School, we're looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Unqualified Teacher to join our specialist team, supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

This is far more than a classroom role. It's an opportunity to develop your teaching career in a supportive specialist setting where you'll be trusted to deliver engaging lessons, build meaningful relationships and make a genuine difference every single day.

Working alongside experienced teachers, therapists and a dedicated multidisciplinary team, you'll have the opportunity to develop your teaching skills while helping pupils build confidence, resilience and independence.

If you're looking for a rewarding role with excellent professional development and clear progression into qualified teaching, we'd love to hear from you.

• Deliver engaging lessons, one-to-one sessions and small-group learning tailored to pupils with a range of additional needs.
• Plan, prepare and assess learning, adapting lessons to meet individual Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) outcomes.
• Create a calm, structured and nurturing classroom where pupils feel safe, valued and motivated to learn.
• Monitor progress, celebrate achievement and use assessment to support continued development.
• Build positive, trusting relationships that help pupils develop confidence, emotional resilience and independence.
• Contribute to curriculum planning, schemes of work and innovative learning experiences.
• Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, families and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide consistent, holistic support.
• Participate in EHCP reviews, meetings and professional development while maintaining accurate records and the highest safeguarding standards.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has previous classroom teaching experience within an SEN setting.
• Has a good understanding of Special Educational Needs and the needs of neurodivergent learners.
• Is passionate about pursuing a career in teaching and making a lasting difference to young people.
• Can deliver engaging, creative learning that inspires pupils to achieve their full potential.
• Is patient, resilient and able to build strong, positive relationships.
• Works confidently both independently and as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team.
• Has excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Is committed to safeguarding, inclusion and continuous professional development.
