SEN Teacher - Bury

A specialist SEN school in Bury is seeking an experienced and committed SEN Teacher to join their team. This role is suited to a qualified teacher with a background in specialist education who is passionate about supporting pupils with a wide range of additional needs.
The school supports children and young people with needs including Autism Spectrum Condition, SEMH and complex learning needs. Pupils benefit from a highly structured and nurturing learning environment where individual needs are prioritised, and progress is celebrated in many forms.

As an SEN Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering a personalised curriculum that meets the diverse needs of pupils within your class. You will work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and wider professionals to create a calm, inclusive and purposeful learning environment.

Planning will be adapted to suit individual learning styles, communication needs and emotional regulation requirements, with a strong focus on consistency, routine and positive relationships.

Key Responsibilities
* Plan and deliver differentiated lessons tailored to individual pupil needs
* Teach pupils with ASC, SEMH and complex learning needs
* Create a structured, supportive and inclusive classroom environment
* Assess progress using appropriate SEN assessment methods
* Develop and review EHCP led targets
* Lead and support teaching assistants and support staff
* Work collaboratively with therapists, families and external agencies
* Maintain high standards of safeguarding and behaviour management

The successful candidate will:
* Hold Qualified Teacher Status
* Have proven experience working within specialist SEN schools
* Be confident teaching pupils with a range of additional needs
* Demonstrate a flexible and reflective approach to teaching
* Be calm, patient and resilient in challenging situations
* Support a child centred and inclusive ethos

Additional qualifications or training related to SEN, such as autism education, SEMH practice or behaviour support, are beneficial but not essential.

The school is ideally seeking a full time teacher working Monday to Friday during term time. However, flexibility on working pattern will be considered for the right candidate.

What the School Offers
* A supportive and experienced SEN leadership team
* Collaborative working with specialist staff
* Opportunities for professional development and SEN specific training
* A rewarding role supporting pupils with complex needs

If you are an SEN Teacher with specialist school experience and are seeking a role in Bury where you can make a meaningful impact, we would welcome your application. Apply today to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
