Specialist Teacher

About this Role

Specialist Teacher

The new term not working out quite the way you had hoped? Thinking of that fresh start come Easter already? SENse Learning offers freedom from the classroom to teach in a whole new way.

You have the opportunity to keep teaching, but on your terms. You will earn between £35-45 an hour delivering interest based learning to students 1:1, building incredible relationships and inspiring young people to achieve their goals.

We believe learning can take place anywhere the student is engaged, motivated and provoked into discovery, so if you can turn Minecraft into maths, make cooking into chemistry and transform gardening into geography, the world will be your classroom.

• You’ll enjoy being matched to learners based on more than geography and availability.
• You’ll  make a difference delivering a bespoke, interest based learning. 
• You get the chance to grow your career with ongoing CPD and training because we never stop learning either.
• You get to flex that creative muscle and find ways to engage disaffected students.
• You get to enjoy teaching without formal planning or hours of assessments and reports.

• Understand and support emotional regulation using a student centred, holistic approach.
• Create interest based learning opportunities around the 4 areas of EHCP and make a real difference in young people’s lives.
• Deliver 1.1 sessions of exceptional learning centred on holistic targets in students homes or out in the community.

• Have detailed knowledge of a trauma informed approach.
