About the Role
At Lamledge School, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in an environment where they feel safe, understood and celebrated for who they are.
We're looking for a passionate and creative Primary Teacher to join our exceptional team. Whether you're an experienced SEND practitioner or a mainstream teacher looking for a more rewarding and meaningful career, we'll provide the support, training and collaborative environment to help you thrive.
This is far more than a teaching role. It's an opportunity to make a lasting difference to the lives of autistic pupils and young people with additional learning, communication and social, emotional needs, helping them rediscover confidence, enjoy learning and achieve outcomes they never thought possible.
What you will be doing
- Deliver engaging, creative and personalised learning that inspires pupils to achieve their full potential.
- Create a nurturing classroom where pupils feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
- Adapt teaching to meet a wide range of learning, communication and sensory needs.
- Work closely with our Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Psychotherapists to provide truly holistic support.
- Monitor progress, celebrate achievements and help every pupil develop academically, socially and emotionally.
- Build positive relationships with families, ensuring they feel involved in every stage of their child's journey.
- Contribute to a collaborative staff team that is continually developing innovative teaching approaches.
What you will bring
- Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.
- Is passionate about helping every child reach their potential.
- Creates engaging, inclusive and inspiring learning experiences.
- Builds positive relationships with pupils through patience, empathy and consistency.
- Enjoys working as part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team.
- Has experience working with pupils with SEND (desirable, but not essential. We welcome teachers from mainstream settings who are eager to learn).
