Advert

We are looking for a qualified SEN teacher to lead and deliver a nurturing, therapeutic and play-based curriculum for pupils accessing the Pioneers Pathway.

The successful candidate will create a safe, engaging and highly personalised learning environment where pupils can develop communication, emotional regulation, independence and confidence through meaningful experiences and child-led learning.

The teacher will be responsible for ensuring that every pupil makes progress towards their EHCP outcomes whilst promoting wellbeing, engagement and a love of learning.

The postholder will uphold the Teachers' Standards, support the vision and values of Kings Park School and actively contribute to a culture of safeguarding, inclusion and positive outcomes for all learners.

The Pioneers Pathway is designed for learners who benefit from a highly personalised, developmental curriculum rooted in play, exploration, communication and relationships.

Pupils may present with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), ADHD, PDA, SEMH needs, sensory processing differences, communication difficulties and emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA).

Learning is delivered through play-based experiences, practical activities, outdoor learning, sensory exploration and meaningful real-life opportunities. Progress is measured through developmental milestones, EHCP outcomes and individual achievements.
