SENCO & KS2 Teacher

Job Description

Zest Education is delighted to be recruiting for a passionate and experienced SENCO & KS2 Teacher to join a welcoming primary academy in Great Wyrley.

This unique full-time opportunity offers the best of both worlds, with three days per week dedicated to SENCO responsibilities and the remaining two days spent teaching across Key Stage 2. The academy is seeking an ambitious and dedicated professional who is passionate about inclusive education and committed to ensuring every child reaches their full potential.

About the School

This thriving primary academy prides itself on providing a nurturing, inclusive, and ambitious learning environment where children are encouraged to achieve their very best. Staff work collaboratively to create engaging learning experiences, while placing pupil wellbeing and development at the heart of everything they do.

The school is part of a supportive trust that values professional development, collaboration, and innovation. As a result, this is an excellent opportunity for a teacher looking to develop their leadership skills while continuing to make a positive impact in the classroom.

About the Role

As SENCO, you will lead the school’s SEND provision, ensuring pupils with additional needs receive the support, interventions, and opportunities they need to thrive. You will work closely with teachers, support staff, parents, and external agencies to coordinate and monitor effective provision across the academy.

In addition, you will spend two days each week teaching across Key Stage 2, delivering engaging lessons and maintaining high standards of learning and achievement. Therefore, the successful candidate will be equally confident in both classroom teaching and strategic leadership.

Teaching Responsibilities

  • Create a stimulating learning environment where children can succeed.
  • Adapt teaching to meet the needs of all learners.
  • Assess progress and use outcomes to inform future teaching.
  • Promote positive behaviour and high standards of achievement.
  • Support pupils’ academic, social, and emotional development.

The Ideal Candidate

The successful applicant will:

  • Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
  • Have experience teaching within a primary school setting.
  • Be passionate about supporting pupils with SEND.
  • Demonstrate strong organisational and leadership skills.
  • Be inspirational, creative, and committed to high-quality teaching.
  • Have experience developing and implementing support strategies for children with additional needs.
  • Be enthusiastic about working within a collaborative and forward-thinking team.
