SEN Early Career Teacher - September Start

As an Early Career Teacher, you re at the very start of your teaching journey, you ve trained hard, built your knowledge, and developed your practice, but now you need the right environment to grow into the teacher you want to be, because not every school will give you that.

This is a chance to start your career in one of our specialist SEND settings in Southwark where support, guidance, and development are genuinely prioritised.

From day one, you ll be surrounded by a team that understands what it means to be an Early Career Teacher. Staff are approachable, experienced, and invested in helping you succeed, not just in your first year, but long-term, you won t be left to figure things out on your own.

With smaller class sizes, strong support from Teaching Assistants, and a leadership team that is visible and hands-on, you ll have the space to focus on your teaching, your relationships with students, and your own development.

The Role

You ll be teaching students with additional needs, many of whom may have faced challenges in mainstream education. Your role will be to create engaging, structured lessons while building trust, confidence, and a sense of safety in your classroom.

Progress here looks different, it s not just about academic outcomes, it s about helping students re-engage with learning, develop confidence, and feel understood.

And you ll be supported every step of the way, with ongoing CPD, SEND training, and mentorship tailored to your stage as an ECT.

Who This Role Suits

You re an ECT who wants more than just a standard teaching role.

• You re open to working in a SEND setting

• You re patient, reflective, and willing to learn

• You want to build strong relationships with your students

• You re looking for a school where you ll be supported, not just managed
