Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teacher

Special Educational Needs (SEN) teachers work with children and young people who require additional support due to learning difficulties, disabilities, or behavioural challenges. Their role involves adapting lessons, developing individual education plans (IEPs), and working closely with parents, carers, and other professionals to create a supportive learning environment. SEN teachers often work in mainstream schools, special schools, or units within mainstream settings. Patience, empathy, and strong communication skills are essential for success in this career. SEN teachers play a crucial role in helping pupils reach their full potential and make progress both academically and socially.
