You will be teaching a sensory and very creative curriculum with based around four main pilars, Communication, Cognition, Independence skills and Physical Development.
The role would be ideal for an experienced PMLD SEN Teacher but would also suit an experienced SEN teacher from an ASD/SLD background.
