The SEN Teacher Job
I am currently looking for an SEN teacher who is experienced working with students with profound multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) to join a top SEN school in East London. The school are seeking to appoint a quality SEN teacher to join their team from September to teach a mixed KS4 class for the 2022/2033 academic year in the first instance. The Headteacher has however indicated that a permanent contract is not out of the question for an outstanding applicant.
The School
This highly regarded and heavily oversubscribed East London SEN school is well served by public transport with train and bus links only 2-3 minute's walk away. The school itself is an OfSTED outstanding special needs all through school providing primary and secondary education to children with severe and profound and multiple learning difficulties. The school is based on a modern and easily accessible East London campus in zone 2, facilities are state of the art and are well maintained. The school provides for children and young people aged between 3 and 16 who have severe learning difficulties and autism, through to PMLD classes like this one. Parking is very limited but the exceptional public transport links mean that their current permanent staff fail from all over London and even out as far as Hertfordshire, Essex and Kent.
