SEND Teacher – Harrogate

Location: Harrogate
Start: ASAP / To be confirmed
Contract: Full-time, long-term opportunity

Milk Education is recruiting two passionate and dedicated SEND Teachers for opportunities within specialist education settings in Harrogate.

There are opportunities to teach across different age groups, including a secondary sensory group, with a second role potentially based within a primary or post-16 setting. There may be flexibility around the age group depending on the successful candidate’s experience and suitability.

These roles are ideal for enthusiastic, adaptable teachers who can deliver engaging, personalised learning and create a safe, supportive environment where pupils with additional needs can develop their skills, confidence and independence.

Whether you have experience in specialist SEND education or are a mainstream teacher looking to develop your expertise, this is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons tailored to pupils’ individual needs and abilities.

  • Adapt teaching approaches to support pupils with SEND, including communication, sensory and learning needs.

  • Create a safe, structured and nurturing learning environment that promotes engagement, wellbeing and independence.

  • Work collaboratively with Teaching Assistants and other professionals to provide appropriate support.

  • Support pupils’ communication, social development, emotional regulation and life skills.

  • Monitor and record progress, recognising individual achievements and developmental milestones.

  • Use positive behaviour management strategies and a patient, understanding approach.

  • Build positive relationships with pupils and colleagues to encourage participation and a love of learning.

  • Adapt activities and resources to meet the needs of different learners and age groups.

About You

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognised teaching qualification.

  • Experience teaching pupils with SEND is desirable.

  • Experience working with sensory needs, complex needs or pupils requiring a personalised curriculum would be advantageous.

  • An adaptable approach to teaching across different age groups and abilities.

  • Strong classroom management and differentiation skills.

  • A patient, empathetic and resilient approach.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

  • A genuine passion for helping children and young people overcome barriers to learning.

Safeguarding and DBS requirements: A Child and Adult Workforce DBS is essential from day one for any candidate working within the post-16 setting. Candidates with a Child Workforce DBS may be considered for the other roles, with an Adult Workforce DBS application initiated where appropriate, subject to suitability and the setting’s requirements.
