Calling all Passionate SEND Teachers Join Our Special Education Needs School Team 

Are you a dedicated and experienced SEND teacher with a heart for making a profound impact on the lives of children with special educational needs? If so, we invite you to be a part of our dynamic and supportive team

Danecourt is a school for children aged 4-11 years with severe and complex needs. All the children attending Danecourt have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The vast majority of the children attending the school have a diagnosis of autism, with many having additional diagnosis such as sensory processing disorder.

The school prides itself on creating personalised learning opportunities with a vision for each individual pupil reaching their full potential by the time they leave in year 6. The school offers a curriculum split into three tracks that are tailored to meeting the pupil’s needs. The school offers small class sizes with favourable staffing levels.

Currently there are 234 children on roll who are based across three sites in Medway. The largest of the sites is in Gillingham and there are two satellite sites based at Featherby Primary School and Bligh Primary School.

Danecourt was judged to be good in all areas, except Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare and EYFS both of which were judged as being outstanding by Ofsted in June 2019.

As a SEND teacher, you will have the incredible opportunity to:

  • Create tailored learning plans that cater to the unique needs and abilities of each student.
  • Foster a positive and nurturing classroom environment that promotes growth, self-confidence, and emotional well-being.
  • Collaborate closely with parents, caregivers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure the best possible support for each student.

Embrace continuous professional development and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and methodologies in SEND education.

We are looking for someone with:

  • A strong background in special education
  • Proven experience working with students with a variety of special educational needs.
  • Passion for creating inclusive and diverse learning experiences.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, parents, and external professionals.
  • Patience, empathy, and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of students.

Joining our team means becoming part of a supportive community that values innovation, growth, and collaboration. We offer:.

  • Professional development opportunities to help you continuously enhance your skills.
  • A comprehensive Induction
  • Early Salary Access scheme & financial advice (Wagestream)
  • A welcoming and inclusive school culture 
  • Access to cutting-edge resources and technology that empower your teaching.
  • A comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme


Make a lasting difference in the lives of students with special educational needs. Join us and be a part of something truly extraordinary
