The Opportunity

A highly regarded specialist school in Watford is seeking a dedicated and experienced SEN Teacher to join their team on a full-time, temp-perm basis from January 2026. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate educator committed to supporting pupils with autism, alongside related needs such as speech and language difficulties, sensory processing challenges, and behavioural regulation.

You will be part of a nurturing, well-resourced environment with small class sizes and a strong staff-to-student ratio. The school is proud to deliver personalised learning experiences that enable every pupil to thrive, supported by a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.

Key Responsibilities

Plan and deliver differentiated lessons tailored to the diverse needs of pupils with complex SEN, particularly autism and associated needs.

Establish structured routines and use visual supports to aid communication and enhance learning.

Collaborate closely with Teaching Assistants (TAs), therapists, and families to provide coordinated support.

Monitor and report on pupil progress against EHCP outcomes and individual learning targets.

Implement evidence-based strategies to support emotional regulation, independence, and self-management skills.

Maintain a safe, inclusive, and positive learning environment where students feel valued and supported.

Engage in CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and contribute to the wider school community.

About You

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is desirable but not essential.

Experience supporting children or young people with SEN, ideally in a specialist or alternative education setting.

Strong understanding of autism and related developmental needs.

Patient, resilient, and nurturing approach to teaching and supporting pupils.

Confident communicator with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Hold (or be willing to obtain) an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service.

What the School Offers

A warm, inclusive, and supportive school culture focused on meeting individual pupil needs.

Small, well-equipped classes and a dedicated team of support staff.

Access to specialist CPD, including training in autism, sensory integration, and communication strategies.

Competitive salary (based on experience) with opportunities for career progression into leadership or specialist roles.

Generous holiday entitlement and a healthy work-life balance.

Purpose-built facilities designed to support students’ sensory, communication, and learning needs.
