About the Role
As a SEN Secondary Teacher, you will take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, ensuring delivery of KS3 and KS4 curricula in ways that maximises pupil's achievement and ability to develop.
This is an exciting opportunity for a SEN Secondary Teacher who wants to spend less time on paperwork and more time developing creative learning opportunities for pupils with varied and complex needs.
