Job overview
Teacher of Students with SEND
Required for September 2024
"The governing body and leaders support pupils’ wider development. They are committed to making sure that pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain." - Ofsted, October 2022
The Governors are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled primary or secondary teacher to join our Specialist Resource Provisions (Savio and Devereux). These provisions support students with EHCPs indicating autism, speech and language difficulties, or social communication disorders.
It is an exciting time to join St John Bosco College as we continue our journey towards being an outstanding school now that we are fully settled into our state-of-the-art building in the heart of Battersea. Our success can be credited to our committed and dedicated staff who strive for excellence and promote high aspirations throughout the school. The successful candidate will receive a full programme of CPD and have opportunities for career development within the school.
Our Resourced Provisions: Savio and Devereux bases
Savio provides a supportive environment away from the typical secondary school setting. It includes Speech and Language Therapy, EP support, social support groups, 1:1 and small group work, quiet study areas, and IT facilities. Students are supported to access mainstream education and integrate fully with the wider school. During breaks, students enjoy games and activities, promoting social interaction.
Devereux caters to students with ASD, SLCN, and complex mental health needs like anxiety and eating disorders. Our Catholic school's inclusive and caring ethos, coupled with its small size, ensures strong pastoral care. Devereux students receive mostly 1:1 or small group instruction, with the goal of integrating them into mainstream school activities over time.
What We’re Looking For
A passionate practitioner with the interest and motivation to work in SEND. We welcome applications from candidates with experience and also those seeking to develop expertise in SEND and inclusion through a personal development programme within a supportive and talented team.
Professional Development
Our staff retention is excellent due to ample professional development opportunities. Successful candidates can pursue ECT induction, ELSA, Elklan, and SPLD Specialist Teacher training, becoming part of a highly-qualified and motivated team.
Our School Ethos
At St John Bosco College, we believe in unlimited potential for our pupils. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, excellent teaching, modern facilities, and a nurturing environment. Our enrichment activities—sporting, work experience, cultural, and charitable—help students grow beyond the classroom.
As a Salesian school, we follow St John Bosco’s vision: "it is not enough for every child to be loved… they must know that they are loved." We provide strong pastoral support and high care levels for every student, valuing everyone as an individual.
If you share our values and feel inspired by our mission, we look forward to meeting you.
Early applications are welcomed, and we reserve the right to appoint before the closing date if we find a suitable candidate. We welcome visits to the school to see our provision in action.

At St John Bosco College we believe that there should be no limit on what our pupils can achieve and we expect everyone who joins us to aim high and always do their best.

“Saint John Bosco is a Catholic college, but admits pupils from a wide range of faiths and cultures and these differences are embraced and celebrated” Ofsted
We want our pupils to work hard but also enjoy life in school. We provide many enrichment activities; sporting, work experience, cultural and charitable; for our pupils to learn and grow beyond the confines of the classroom. We believe that these opportunities enable our pupils to grow and develop into well-rounded young men and women who will leave here fully equipped for life beyond school.
“Staff know each and every pupil and relationships are consequently highly positive.” Ofsted
Our identity as a Roman Catholic school and our school’s distinctive Salesian ethos is based on St John Bosco’s vision that ‘it is not enough for every child to be loved… they must know that they are loved’. We provide strong pastoral support and a high level of care for every student, regardless of their background. We are a community where everyone is highly valued as an individual.
“Pupils mix well in this harmonious environment and benefit from personalised support and guidance” Ofsted
Whilst we are justifiably proud of our school and of the achievements of the young people who have already studied here we are equally excited about the future and the potential of the young people joining our school to achieve great things in the years ahead.
“The school’s vision that ‘it is not enough for young people to be loved, they must know that they are loved’ permeates the school’s culture” Ofsted
