SEND Specialist Teacher – Permanent, Full-Time
Location: Essex
Salary: £46,586 – £51,763
We are seeking dedicated and highly skilled SEND Specialist Teachers to join an expanding team, supporting schools across a diverse local authority.
As a Specialist Teacher, you will:
-
Work across multiple schools, providing targeted support for young children in groups, assisting families, and upskilling schools in SEND & inclusion.
-
Help enhance inclusion and improve opportunities for children with SEND.
-
Guide schools in shifting their perspective on challenging behaviours, ensuring better understanding of neurodiversity.
-
Have flexibility in your schedule, visiting schools and families as needed while managing your caseload independently.
-
Contribute hands-on experience – leading by example when required – to model best practices for school staff.
We are looking for experienced professionals who have:
-
A background as a SENDCo, provision lead, or specialist teacher in SEMH or autism settings.
-
A proven ability to lead and provide practical, hands-on support, rather than purely observational guidance.
-
QTS qualification.
-
Strong experience in transition support, particularly for children out of school.
If you’re seeking a fresh challenge outside traditional school settings – perhaps transitioning from a SENDCo or senior leadership position – this role offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team.
