Are you a passionate Primary Teacher (QTS) dedicated to Special Education Needs (SEN)? Do you excel at guiding young learners (aged 4-11) who face complex Social, Emotional, Mental Health or Physical (SEMH/SEN) challenges and require additional support to unlock their full potential?

Randstad Education is partnering with specialist SEN schools across Greater Manchester to recruit an inspiring and resilient educator for a long-term, full-time, term-time only position starting October 2025, with potential for a permanent role.

Why This Role?

• Make a Significant Difference: Be a pivotal figure in shaping young lives, helping pupils re-engage with education, master behaviour, and build vital life skills.
• Competitive Pay & Support: Enjoy very competitive rates of pay with full AWR compliance and no hidden deductions. Benefit from the guidance of a dedicated, honest, and trustworthy consultant.
• Professional Growth: Access free accredited career and professional development training to enhance your expertise in SEN and SEMH.
• Work-Life Balance: This is a full-time, term-time only role, providing excellent work-life flexibility.

Role Expectations:

• Design and deliver meticulously tailored lessons and interventions, strictly following each pupil's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and individual behaviour management plans to address complex social, emotional, and mental health needs.
• Proactively teach and coach pupils in emotional regulation techniques and positive coping mechanisms. Expertly respond to and de-escalate challenging behaviours to ensure a calm and safe learning environment.
• Re-ignite pupils curiosity and passion for learning through highly creative, flexible, and engaging teaching approaches that consider past educational disruption and diverse learning styles.
• Work seamlessly within a multidisciplinary team (e.g., therapists, social workers, support staff) and families to deliver comprehensive pastoral care and develop crucial life skills alongside academic progress.
• Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and child protection given the inherent vulnerability of pupils in SEN settings. Act as a positive role model and advocate for student potential.
