Qualified SEN Teacher
Full-Time | Long-Term | Paid to Scale
South East London
Are you a skilled and compassionate qualified teacher with experience supporting learners with severe learning disabilities?
A well-established specialist provision in
South East London is seeking an experienced and committed teacher to join their team on a
full-time, long-term basis.
This role is
paid to scale (MPS/UPS) and offers stability, professional respect and the opportunity to make a profound impact on pupils with complex needs.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a purpose-built setting designed specifically to support children and young people with severe learning difficulties, where teaching is individualised, holistic and genuinely transformative.
The Role:
You will lead a class of pupils with severe learning disabilities, delivering highly differentiated, personalised learning programmes tailored to EHCP outcomes. Progress may look different in this environment — communication milestones, independence skills and social development are celebrated just as much as academic achievement.
You will work closely with experienced support staff, therapists and families to ensure each pupil receives consistent, structured and aspirational support.
The Ideal Candidate Will:
- Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) (essential)
- Have proven experience working with pupils with severe and/or complex learning difficulties
- Demonstrate strong understanding of EHCPs and personalised curriculum planning
- Be confident leading, directing and developing teaching assistants
- Have experience with alternative and augmentative communication strategies (e.g. PECS, Makaton, AAC)
- Be calm, resilient and solution-focused
- Maintain high expectations for pupils with additional needs
- Be deeply committed to safeguarding and inclusive practice
Experienced mainstream teachers with substantial SEN experience and a genuine desire to specialise are also encouraged to apply.

Located in
South East London, the school benefits from:
- Purpose-built classrooms designed for sensory and structured learning
