A fantastic SEND in Barking is seeking a Sixth Form Teacher

School is a Special School for pupils aged from 4 - 18, which opened in September 2015. This School serves families and pupils in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and neighbouring boroughs.

Pupils are admitted within the following categories of special needs:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

Profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD)

Severe learning difficulties (SLD)

We offer:

Continuous professional development and training

Staff who are keen to share their expertise

Excellent working conditions and resources

Opportunities and challenges

The school will be expanding in September 2025 with an additional 2 form entry 6th form provision.

Initially this will be a small cohort and the school will expand for up to 50 pupils in the coming years. Students will work to achieve entry level qualifications, a range of work experience and develop communication and life skills to gain as much independence as possible.

We are keen to attract permanent teachers who can demonstrate an optimistic and aspirational attitude towards our pupils. Although it is desirable that you possess some prior experience of working with pupils with special educational needs, we are also keen for candidates who may not possess all the skills yet but could bring to us a positive "can do" approach and we will train you in the appropriate techniques and strategies. This role would be suited to teachers with prior experience in SEN teaching and those who have knowledge in accreditation-based qualifications such as course work based or portfolio awards, but this is not essential.

The successful candidate will lead on the school's 'Work Related Learning' programme and provide curriculum foci throughout the school and build links for work experience opportunities.

- Has Qualified Teacher Status or Unqualified teacher with a significant period of experience
