SEN Teacher

Location: Rural Surrey (Near Caterham/Chaldon)

Salary: Paid to Scale + SEN Allowance

Contract: Permanent

Do you love teaching, but find yourself wishing you had more time for the person and less time for the paperwork?

If you are a QTS-qualified teacher who excels at building deep connections with students who find the world a bit overwhelming, we want to hear from you. We are looking for a Nurture Teacher for our specialist secondary school, supporting students with Autism and complex behavioural needs.

Forget 30-student classrooms and rigid, fast-paced transitions. Our students require a "Primary Model" in a Secondary setting. This means:

• Small Groups: You'll lead a small, consistent cohort, allowing for genuine bonding.

• Holistic Curriculum: You have the freedom to weave social and emotional development into every lesson.

• Therapeutic Support: You aren't alone. You'll work alongside an expert team of therapists to support each child's unique sensory and emotional profile.

• A "Nurturer" by Nature: You see the "why" behind the behaviour and meet it with patience rather than punishment.

• QTS Certified: Whether you are Primary or Secondary trained, your ability to adapt learning is what matters most.

• A Driver: Our school is tucked away in a beautiful rural setting-it's peaceful for the students, but it does mean you must be able to drive to get here!

• Resilient & Calm: You understand that progress isn't always a straight line, and you're okay with that.

• Scale Pay: Fully matched to your experience (MPS/UPS) + SEN weighting.

• Work-Life Balance: A supportive leadership team that understands the demands of SEN teaching.

• Career Evolution: Extensive training in ASC and specialised de-escalation techniques.

If you have the QTS and the heart for this role, we'd love to chat.
