NextGen Teachers are proud to be partnering with a network of exceptional specialist schools across Leeds, dedicated to supporting learners with complex Special Educational Needs. We are seeking experienced, compassionate teachers who are committed to providing outstanding education and care for pupils with a wide range of additional needs.

Within these specialist settings, learners access a rich and varied curriculum designed to nurture sensory development, enhance communication skills, and promote independence. Depending on each learner's individual needs and educational pathway, lessons may follow highly structured routines or focus on exploratory, sensory-based learning experiences.

• Strong communication with all staff members, external agencies and families
• Participation in extracurricular activities to further enhance students' overall wellbeing and academic achievement
• Provide personal care
• Support learners who require positional changes throughout the day to promote physical/mobility development
• Support learners who require in-depth emotional development skills in order for them to express their feelings and learn to co and self regulate using positive behaviours
• Provide sensory support where necessary, which might include sensory circuits

Requirements:

• Qualified Teaching Status (QTS).
