About the role: SEND / LLDD Teacher
We are now looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring SEND teacher to join our Lifeskills faculty based at Reading College. Our team supports learners who face barriers to education, including young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
In this role, you will primarily teach on two key programmes: Tier 3 Work Preparation, which supports learners with EHCPs to build employability skills and undertake external work placements, and Tier 2 Skills for Living, a course for learners with moderate to severe learning difficulties focusing on life skills, independence, and personal development. Both programmes include English and Maths, with learners working at levels from Pre-Entry to GCSE.
This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher with passion and drive, committed to helping learners build confidence, independence, and the skills they need for adulthood.
This is a permanent, full-time position based at our Reading College Campus.
What do you need to be a successful SEND / LLDD Teacher at Activate Learning?
We are looking for someone who can be a positive role model and support learners in developing the skills and attitudes they need to thrive in life and work. You'll need a genuine interest in working with young people and the ability to nurture a wide range of learning needs.
Experience in careers education, wellness, and teaching English or Maths is desirable, but you don't need to be a qualified teacher to apply. If you bring relevant experience and the right mindset, we'll provide the training and support you need to succeed in the further education sector.
