Primary SEN Teacher

St Dominic’s School is a special academy in Surrey and provides outstanding education for pupils and students aged 7-19 typically with a primary diagnosis of Speech Language & Communication Needs and/or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The school is located in Hambledon, close to Witley, Milford, Guildford and Godalming.

We are part of Orchard Hill College & Academy Trust (OHC&AT), a specialist Trust with 12 Academies and seven College Centres across London, Surrey and Sussex. 

At St Dominic’s we believe passionately in a multi-disciplinary, ‘needs led’ approach to meeting each child’s and young person’s needs, resulting in carefully managed groupings, including specialist intervention work from our in house therapeutic team. 

The school works closely in partnership with families, referring authorities and external agencies to coordinate the best possible education, care, guidance and support for its pupils and students. 

Due to our school’s expansion we are looking to appoint motivated and enthusiastic teachers who are able to flexibly deliver a primary style model of teaching and learning to Key Stage 2 & 3 pupils with a range of needs who require a nurturing approach. 

Candidates must be able to convey core subjects and topic-based learning to pupils and students who have a range of abilities and monitor and assess to ensure the best possible progress. The successful candidate will have a commitment to developing outstanding practice and the desire and drive to improve educational outcomes and life chances for our very special pupils and students.

We would consider applications on a full or part-time basis.

Applications are welcome from both NQTs and experienced teachers who have the ability to think creatively and are resilient and motivated by challenges.  

Experience of working within a SEN setting is desirable but not essential.
