SEN Primary Teacher: Champion Emotional Growth (Barnsley) Role: Specialist SEN Primary Teacher Location: Barnsley Contract: Full-time, term-time only (8:30 am - 3:30 pm) Salary: £140 - £190 per day (including holiday pay) Do you possess the clinical patience of a SEN specialist and the creativity of a primary educator? We are looking for a skilled teacher to bridge the gap between academic learning and emotional regulation at a supportive primary school. The Impact You'll Have: Deliver Targeted Therapeutic Interventions: Move away from whole-class teaching to focus on precision planning. You will design and lead bespoke 1:1 and small-group sessions using the Thrive Approach, specifically tailored to support pupils with SEN, trauma, or social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. * Integrate SEN Strategies Across the Setting: Act as a specialist advisor, collaborating with class teachers to adapt the environment and curriculum. You will translate complex attachment-aware theories into practical, low-arousal strategies that support sensory needs and communication challenges. You Will Thrive in This Role If You Have: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) with significant experience in a SEN or Primary setting supporting vulnerable learners. * A strong grasp of the graduated approach, with the ability to write and implement individual education plans that target specific SEMH and communication goals. * First-hand experience in de-escalation, supporting pupils with autism, anxiety, or pathological demand avoidance (PDA) profiles. * An empathetic, unmoveable calm and the resilience to manage complex emotional behaviours without taking them personally. * An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or be willing to obtain one) and a unwavering commitment to safeguarding. The Opportunity: Be the Foundation for Learning If you are a primary teacher with a SEN skillset looking to use every tool in your box to foster connection and confidence, we want to meet you.
