Classroom Teacher

Whether you’re considering a career change or looking to begin your teaching journey, SEN teaching offers unique opportunities that go beyond the traditional classroom setting.

In the UK, the need for SEN teachers has been steadily increasing, as awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by students with special needs continue to grow. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need extensive experience in special education to excel in an SEN school. Many of our most successful SEN teachers began their careers in mainstream education before discovering the rewarding world of special education.

SEN teachers work with children and young adults who require additional support due to a range of disabilities or learning difficulties. They provide a tailored approach to teaching, making sure that every student can succeed both academically and personally. You work with much smaller class sizes, enabling you the time needed to support the children individual needs.

With clear career progression opportunities, strong job security, and the chance to make a broader social impact, it’s a path that attracts those who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of students with additional needs. If you’re looking for a meaningful, dynamic, and stable career in education, SEN teaching may be the perfect fit for you.
