Are you an English Teacher with experience working with pupils with PMLD, complex needs or significant SEND? Tradewind Recruitment is looking for passionate, adaptable and creative English Teachers to support a range of specialist schools and SEND settings across Northamptonshire.
We have opportunities available for both short-term supply bookings and longer-term assignments, allowing you to find work that fits around your experience and availability. While some positions may initially be short-term, there is also the potential for assignments to develop into longer-term or permanent opportunities where there is a strong fit between you and the school.
The Role
As a PMLD English Teacher, you will deliver engaging and accessible English lessons that are adapted to the individual needs, communication styles and abilities of your pupils. Depending on the setting, this may involve supporting pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), SLD, complex physical or medical needs and other significant SEND.
You will be expected to:
Plan and deliver engaging English lessons that are appropriately differentiated and accessible.
Adapt learning activities to meet a wide range of individual needs and abilities.
Use creative, practical and sensory approaches to develop pupils' communication and literacy skills.
Support pupils to develop communication, confidence and independence alongside their academic learning.
Work closely with Teaching Assistants and other professionals to provide consistent support.
Build positive relationships with pupils and create a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment.
Monitor pupil progress and adapt your teaching accordingly.
Support individual EHCP outcomes and wider personal development.
The Ideal Candidate
We are particularly interested in hearing from English Teachers with experience in specialist SEND, PMLD, SLD or complex-needs settings. We are also happy to speak with experienced English Teachers who have a strong understanding of adapting their teaching to meet the needs of pupils with additional needs.
Experience with sensory learning, communication needs, AAC, PECS, Makaton, physical disabilities or medical needs would be advantageous, although this is not essential for every opportunity.
You will need to be a qualified teacher with strong communication skills, patience and the ability to adapt your approach to different learners and environments.
