We are seeking to appoint a knowledgeable and enthusiastic SEN teacher work in our full time Units for pupils with autism. You will teach and oversee classes of up to 10 pupils who have identified Special Educational Needs and have Houndsfield named as their provision on their EHCPs.
Our first unit, Robins Class, opened in September 2023 following a successful application to the Local Authority to run the provision initially with KS1 children. We are ambitious for the future and will be looking to extend the provision as we move forward. We are looking for a motivated and highly effective practitioner who will help us develop our Units to support autistic children from across Enfield. You must be flexible, resilient, and able to work in a challenging yet immensely rewarding environment. Experience of teaching an SEN class is not necessary, as the role will come with support from the inclusion team.
We have a dedicated space for our unit provision, with a sensory room, direct access to an outdoor space and a large site for children to use. We also have a supportive Inclusion team.
Houndsfield Primary School is a large, diverse primary school in Edmonton. We want you to come and join our school where we work hard to improve the life chances of every child. If you want to make a difference to children’s lives, we want you to join our talented and committed team. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a team of dedicated, like-minded individuals. We invest in professional development for staff at all levels and are well supported by the Academy Trust.
Our core values of Respect, Equality, Achievement, Courage and Honesty are key to ensuring that we provide a harmonious, happy learning environment where pupils feel valued and listened to. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school where the pursuit of excellence underpins all our practice.
Visits to our school are encouraged and should be arranged by contacting us on the telephone number or email above.
