SEN Teacher

Job Description:

SEN Teacher – Loughborough – Start September – £30,000 to £45,000 (Permanent)

Real relationships. Real impact. Real teaching.

We’re on the lookout for an SEN Teacher who gets it — who sees past labels and loves getting to know who a child really is. If you’re the kind of person who lights up when that one quiet student finally opens up or cracks a smile during a lesson you tailored just for them… keep reading.

The Role

Starting this September, this is a permanent teaching post based in Loughborough. You’ll be working mainly 1:1 or with very small groups, so it’s not about juggling big classes — it’s about building trust, spotting the spark in each learner, and running with it.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. You’ll have the freedom to adapt your teaching, be creative, and take your time — because in this role, rapport comes first. When children feel safe and understood, the learning follows. That’s what we’re here for.

What We’re After

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), PGCE, or equivalent
• A proper passion for working with children who need something a bit different
• Patience, resilience, warmth — and a good sense of humour doesn’t hurt
• Someone who genuinely enjoys celebrating the small wins — because that’s often where the magic happens

Why You’ll Love It Here

• £30,000 to £35,000 salary (depending on experience)
• 1:1 and small group teaching means you can really make a difference
• Supportive staff team who get SEN and want to do things properly
• Ongoing CPD and the space to try new ideas
• A setting where creative, personalised teaching is not just allowed — it’s expected

About the Provider

You’ll be part of a specialist child service provider that puts relationships front and centre. It’s a nurturing, inclusive space where education is adapted to the child, not the other way around. They’ve got a brilliant team who believe in consistency, curiosity, and kindness.

The Interview Process

We won’t drag it out — just a friendly, focused conversation (about 45 minutes) to get to know you and what makes you tick. We’ll ask about your experience, possibly invite you to show how you’d approach a session, and of course carry out all standard vetting before you start.

Ready to Join?

If this sounds like your kind of job — where the child matters more than the plan, and every day brings a new small victory — then we’d love to hear from you.
