SEND Inclusion Support are recruiting on behalf of a valued specialist school in Guildford for an experienced SEN Teacher to work with pupils with complex learning and communication needs.
This is a specialist teaching role suited to someone who is confident working with non-speaking pupils and young people with complex SEND , including those with PMLD, SLD and pre-formal developmental profiles.
The school is developing its provision and is looking for a teacher who can bring strong SEN pedagogy, creativity and a genuinely child-centred approach to the classroom.
The role You will lead learning for pupils working within a pre-formal or semi-formal curriculum , with a strong focus on communication, engagement, development and independence.
You will need to be confident adapting learning around the individual pupil rather than relying solely on chronological age or traditional classroom approaches.
This may include:
Developing communication-led teaching for non-speaking pupils

Using AAC and other communication approaches

Planning sensory and engagement-based learning

Supporting pupils with complex learning and developmental needs

Using intensive interaction approaches where appropriate

Supporting sensory regulation and emotional wellbeing

Using developmental assessment to identify and celebrate progress

Supporting personal care and physical needs where required

Working closely with a high level of Teaching Assistant support

Developing meaningful, individualised learning opportunities

Working collaboratively with families and the wider specialist team

What we're looking for We are looking for a teacher who has a strong understanding of specialist SEN practice and is confident working with pupils who may communicate, learn and engage in very different ways.
You may have experience within:
PMLD or SLD settings

Specialist autism provision

Complex needs schools

Pre-formal or semi-formal curriculum

AAC and alternative communication

Sensory-based learning

Intensive interaction

Complex physical or medical needs

Most importantly, you will understand that specialist SEN pedagogy comes first and that successful teaching starts with understanding how each individual pupil communicates, learns and experiences the world.
Why join this role? This is an opportunity to join a developing specialist provision where you can have a genuine influence on practice and help shape an environment around the needs of the pupils.
If you are an experienced SEN Teacher who enjoys creative, highly individualised teaching and wants to work with pupils with complex needs, we'd love to hear from you.
