Job description

English Teacher (Years 7-11) – Specialist SEN School

Start Date: September 2026 Contract: Long‑term or Permanent Salary: MPS

A specialist school in Dibden is seeking an English Teacher who can bring creativity, patience and adaptability to a setting where pupils need far more than a standard classroom experience.

The school supports pupils aged 7-16 with a wide range of complex needs, including SEMH, ASC, communication differences, attachment‑related needs, and school‑based anxiety. Many pupils arrive with disrupted educational journeys, and the school’s mission is to rebuild confidence, curiosity and a sense of belonging.

About the Provision

  • Small‑group teaching and individualised support to help pupils re‑engage
  • Trauma‑informed practice embedded into daily routines
  • Personalised learning pathways that reflect each pupil’s starting point
  • A literacy‑rich curriculum that values creativity, communication and real‑world relevance
  • A strong emphasis on emotional regulation, consistency and trust

Your Role

This role is ideal for an English Teacher who enjoys thinking differently about curriculum and engagement. You will:

  • Teach English across Years 7-11, adapting content for pupils working at a wide range of levels
  • Support learners working toward Entry Level, Functional Skills or GCSE pathways
  • Build strong, trusting relationships with pupils who may present with emotional or behavioural challenges
  • Create a classroom environment that is structured, predictable and genuinely nurturing
  • Work closely with therapists, support staff and pastoral teams to ensure a joined‑up approach

The Details

  • Location: Dibden, Hampshire
  • Start Date: September 2026
  • Contract: Long‑term or permanent
  • Salary: MPS

What You’ll Need

  • Right to work in the UK
  • QTS with English specialism or strong English‑teaching experience
  • Experience teaching English at KS3 and/or KS4
  • Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply)
  • References covering the last 24 months

Preferential Experience

  • Experience working with SEND, particularly pupils with complex needs
  • Confidence delivering English to learners working significantly below age‑related expectations
  • Experience in specialist, alternative or therapeutic settings
  • Understanding of SEMH, trauma‑informed approaches and behaviour support

Why Join Prospero Teaching?

  • Access to free, accredited CPD including behaviour support, trauma‑informed practice and communication strategies
  • Support from an in‑house Training and Development Team
  • Ongoing guidance from a dedicated local consultant who understands the school and its needs

Next Steps

If this role aligns with your experience, please send an up‑to‑date copy of your CV.
