The Royal Liberty School where “Staff know their pupils very well, and as a result, pupils are happy and safe. Pupils are polite, respectful and mature and value diversity and equality.” (OFSTED February 2024).

We are seeking to appoint an excellent classroom practitioner to teach children with learning difficulties in our growing SEND Faculty. This will be a brand new post suitable for an experienced practitioner. There will also be the opportunity for the position of 2i/c SENDCo for the right candidate. They will need to take the lead in developing a specialist provision for students with significant cognition and learning needs within the school. This group will be working at a lower primary level. This post would be suitable for a primary teacher who is looking to work in a secondary school or an experienced teacher of SEND. There would be a dedicated area for the Nurture Group within the school.

The SEND team is enthusiastic, energetic and expert in supporting our students to reach their full potential. We are looking for an equally energetic, well-organised and flexible Teacher of SEND who:

• Has experience of teaching students with a range of SEND, especially significant cognition and learning and communication and interaction needs
• Takes pride in delivering high quality teaching
• Is ready to make a significant positive impact on our students and our whole school community
• Is proactive and solution focussed.
• Has the potential to help lead the SEND faculty

The successful candidate will be committed to our vision, our values and ethos, and have the interpersonal skills and ability to work with staff and students to achieve all they can.

We take a collaborative view of learning where good practice is shared through a structured INSET programme within school and across the Trust.
