Specialist Sen Teacher

Be the Turning Point: Start Your New Chapter in SEN Teaching. Location: Chaldon, Surrey (Near Caterham). Salary: £34,398 - £48,913 (M1 - UPS1 Fringe) Bonus: £5,000 Welcome Bonus (for QTS holders). Hours: Full-time, Permanent. Do you want a job that actually matters? If you're tired of feeling like a cog in a machine and want to see the direct impact of your work every single day, this is for you. We've just opened a brand-new secondary school for students (ages 11-16) who find mainstream environments overwhelming. These are bright, capable young people who just need a different kind of teacher. We are looking for someone with heart, patience, and a sense of humour to join our founding team as a Nurture Teacher. What's in it for you? Transitioning into SEN can feel daunting, but we've built a safety net around our staff so you can focus on what you love: connecting with students. No More Crowded Classrooms: Swap 30+ students for small, manageable groups where you can actually get to know every child. Total Support: You'll never be "left alone" with a difficult situation. You'll have a team of teaching assistants and on-site therapists working right alongside you. A Fresh Start: Since we are a brand-new school, there's no "old way" of doing things. You get to help us build a positive, kind, and modern culture from day one. A "Thank You" for Your Skills: A £5,000 bonus to welcome you to the team. Who are we looking for? You don't need twenty years of SEN experience. We are looking for the right personality. You'll be a great fit if: You are a "people person" who stays calm when things get hectic. You enjoy thinking outside the box-if a lesson isn't working, you're happy to scrap it and try something fun. You believe that "challenging behavior" is just a student asking for help. You want to work in a place that feels like a community, not a workplace. The Practical Bits: Status: QTS preferred (and required for the bonus). The Day: 8:15 am start; finish between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Location: Based in Chaldon with occasional trips to our sister site in Caterham. Ready to leave the stress of the "standard" classroom behind? If you have the empathy to lead and the resilience to keep trying, we want to meet you.
