Send Lecturer

Location: East London

Contract: Full Time Interim

Salary: Competitive Hourly Rate

Are you a passionate educator with experience supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?

We're looking for a dedicated SEND Lecturer to join a thriving Further Education college in East London, delivering engaging and personalised learning programmes for young people and adults with additional learning needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a genuine difference within an inclusive college environment where learner-centred teaching, collaboration and innovation are at the heart of everything.

As a SEND Lecturer, you'll plan and deliver high-quality teaching to learners with a range of additional needs, including Autism, learning difficulties, SEMH and complex needs.

Working closely with Learning Support Assistants, curriculum colleagues and external professionals, you'll create engaging learning experiences that help learners develop academic, vocational, employability and independent living skills while achieving their individual goals.

You'll play an important role in preparing learners for adulthood, further education, supported employment and independent living through highly personalised teaching and support.

• Plan and deliver engaging, inclusive lessons that meet individual learner needs.
• Differentiate teaching to support learners with SEND, High Needs and EHCPs.
• Develop Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) and contribute to EHCP reviews.
• Assess learner progress and provide constructive feedback to support achievement.
• Work collaboratively with Learning Support Assistants to maximise learner engagement.
• Create a safe, positive and inclusive learning environment.
• Support learners' personal development, confidence, independence and employability.
• Maintain accurate learner records and contribute to quality assurance processes.
• Work closely with parents, carers, local authorities and external professionals where appropriate.
• Promote safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion across all aspects of college life.

We're looking for someone who has:

• A recognised teaching qualification (PGCE, Cert Ed, QTS, QTLS or willingness to work towards one).
• Experience teaching within Further Education, Post-16 education or specialist SEND provision.
• Experience supporting learners with SEND, EHCPs and additional learning needs.
• Excellent communication, organisational and classroom management skills.
• Knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice and inclusive teaching strategies.
• A creative, adaptable and learner-focused approach to teaching.
• A genuine passion for helping learners overcome barriers and achieve their potential.

Experience supporting learners with Autism (ASC), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), SEMH, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) or complex needs would be highly advantageous.

This is more than a teaching role-it's an opportunity to have a lasting impact on the lives of learners with additional needs.

You'll join a supportive and collaborative team where you'll have the opportunity to deliver creative, personalised learning while helping learners develop the skills, confidence and independence they need to succeed beyond college.

Whether you're an experienced SEND Lecturer, Specialist Tutor, Inclusive Learning Lecturer or Further Education Teacher looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
