SEND Teacher – Mainstream or Specialist Background
Location: Outer London Boroughs
Salary: MPS/UPS + SEN Allowance
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we work closely with schools across London to connect SEND teachers with roles where their experience and strengths are genuinely valued. Whether you come from a mainstream teaching background or have experience working in specialist settings, we take the time to understand what you are looking for and identify schools that are the right fit.
SEND schools vary considerably in their approach, leadership and working environment. We believe finding the right school is just as important as finding the right role, which is why we provide teachers with a clear insight into the schools we work with.
We work with a wide range of settings across London, including specialist provisions within mainstream schools, PRUs, SEMH settings, alternative provision and local authority tuition teams. This gives teachers access to a broad range of opportunities across SEND education.
Recruitment for September is already underway, with schools looking to appoint teachers who are committed to supporting pupils with additional needs and developing their own careers within SEND.
With over 400 five-star Google reviews, Parker Smith Inclusion is trusted by teachers for our honest advice, expertise and personal approach. We take the time to understand your experience, preferences and career goals before recommending suitable opportunities.
