Special Educational Needs (SEN) Teacher

A Special Educational Needs (SEN) teacher works with children and young people who require extra support due to learning difficulties, disabilities, or behavioural needs. They adapt lessons and teaching methods to ensure all pupils can access the curriculum and reach their full potential. SEN teachers often work in mainstream schools with designated SEN units, as well as in specialist schools. They collaborate closely with teaching assistants, parents, and other professionals such as speech and language therapists. This career requires patience, creativity, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in young people's lives.
