About Us

SEND Teacher (SEND) 
 Teachers’ Pay Scale + SEN 1 

Required from April 2026 or September 2026

Are you an innovative, creative teacher driven to provide the best possible education for young people with special needs?

This is a teaching role delivering a broad, engaging curriculum, adapted to meet a range of learning needs and EHCP targets. We are seeking a flexible and reflective practitioner who is willing to teach across Key Stages 3–5 and contribute to accredited pathways, including Entry Level qualifications at KS4 and Level 1 and/or GCSE courses within the sixth form, particularly within their specialist areas.

We are particularly interested in colleagues with a subject specialism in Art, PE or Humanities. However, the ability to teach across a range of subjects and work collaboratively within a small school environment would be highly advantageous.

Applications are welcomed from teachers with experience in primary, secondary or special school settings who have a genuine commitment to inclusive practice and preparing students with SEND for meaningful next steps.

“Staff are proud to work at the school. They say that leaders consider their well-being and that they have the support and training they need to do their job.” (Ofsted 2024)

We provide all of our staff with a comprehensive training programme, including delivering on site, trauma-informed, crisis prevention training (CPI).  This means that our school remains ‘calm and welcoming’  . We understand the demands of working in an SEN school so we provide all staff with 30 minutes ‘Administration & Development’ every day, in addition to their statutory PPA. We have a supportive body of staff and everyone is automatically a member of the Employee Benefit Scheme with a range of external support and discount offers. 

Garratt Park School is a special school for children and young people aged 11-19 who have moderate learning difficulties, along with other special needs disabilities including Autism, SCLN, sensory impairments and a small number with more complex needs.  We are situated in the inner London borough of Wandsworth and most of our students come from the local area, from diverse backgrounds with around one third entitled to free school meals.  Earlsfield is well served by public transport with easy access to the city centre.

Interested candidates are encouraged to visit our friendly and welcoming school. Please contact Janice Button at recruitment@garrattpark.wandsworth.sch.uk  to arrange this.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
