SEN Class Teacher

SEN Class Teacher

Location: Leeds
Contract: Full-time (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm)
Start Date: September
Salary: MPS-UPS + SEN Allowance

We are working in partnership with a specialist school in Leeds that supports children and young people with complex Special Educational Needs. The school is seeking a dedicated, compassionate SEN Class Teacher to join their team and play a key role in supporting pupils with a wide range of additional needs.

This is a setting where every learner has a highly individualised pathway. Pupils access a carefully adapted curriculum focused on communication, sensory development, emotional regulation, and independence skills. Learning is tailored to each child, ranging from structured, routine-based teaching to immersive sensory and experiential learning.

The learners you will work with have complex needs, which may include Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), epilepsy, multi-sensory impairments, muscular dystrophy, and other associated needs. The role is as much about care and consistency as it is about teaching and learning.

The Role

• Plan and deliver personalised learning programmes in line with EHCP targets
• Create a calm, safe, and highly inclusive classroom environment
• Use a range of communication and sensory approaches to engage learners
• Track and record progress through observations, assessments, and communication with families
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team, parents, and external professionals
• Support pupils with personal care where required
• Assist with positioning and mobility to support physical development needs
• Support emotional regulation and positive behaviour strategies
• Deliver sensory-based interventions and activities such as sensory circuits
• Contribute to the wider school community and enrichment opportunities

What we are looking for

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience working with children or young people with complex SEN
• Confidence in supporting personal care needs
• A calm, patient, and resilient approach
• Team Teach training (or willingness to complete it)
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A clear understanding of safeguarding responsibilities
• A genuine passion for supporting pupils with additional needs and helping them achieve their potential

This is a rewarding opportunity to join a supportive specialist school where every small step of progress is celebrated and valued.
