Early Years SEND Teacher

£173 - £255 per day

SEND Teacher - Early Years

Not every child starts their learning journey feeling safe, confident, or ready to engage.

Some need a little more time. A little more patience. A teacher who understands that the smallest steps can lead to the biggest breakthroughs.

If you're passionate about Early Years SEND education , Autism (ASC) , SEMH , and helping children reach their potential through nurture, play, and personalised support, this could be the perfect role for you.

We're recruiting an Early Years SEND Teacher for a specialist school in North west Leeds, supporting young learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) , including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) , Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs , and complex learning difficulties.

This is an opportunity to make a lasting difference during the most important stage of a child's development.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Early Years SEND Teacher , you'll create a safe, nurturing learning environment where every child can thrive at their own pace.

Your responsibilities will include:

✅ Planning and delivering engaging, child-centred EYFS lessons tailored to individual needs

✅ Supporting children with Autism (ASC) , SEMH , communication difficulties, sensory needs, and complex SEND

✅ Using play-based and therapeutic approaches to encourage learning, confidence, and independence

✅ Building strong, trusting relationships with pupils and their families

✅ Working collaboratively with Teaching Assistants, SENCOs, therapists, and wider multidisciplinary teams

✅ Celebrating progress in all its forms – from first words and social interactions to academic achievements

Why Early Years SEND Matters

In Early Years, every interaction counts.

The child who joins a group activity for the first time. The child who learns to communicate a need. The child who finally feels safe enough to engage in learning.

These moments may seem small to others, but they're life-changing for the children and families you support.

Why Teachers Choose Specialist Early Years SEND Roles

This role offers the chance to teach in a way that truly reflects your values.

You'll benefit from:

  • Opportunities within specialist schools, SEND provisions, and alternative education settings
  • Supportive SEND-focused leadership teams
  • Smaller class sizes and personalised approaches to learning
  • Long-term and permanent career opportunities
  • The ability to make a genuine difference every day

You'll Thrive in This Role If You...

✔️ Have a passion for Early Years Education and SEND

✔️ Understand the importance of communication, nurture, and relationship-building

✔️ Stay calm, patient, and adaptable when challenges arise

✔️ Believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and successful

✔️ Enjoy working collaboratively as part of a supportive team

Essential Requirements

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or significant experience within SEND or specialist education settings
  • Knowledge of the EYFS Framework
  • Experience supporting children with SEND, Autism (ASC), SEMH , or additional learning needs
  • A nurturing, child-centred approach to teaching and learning
  • Confidence adapting lessons and environments to meet varying needs

⭐ What You'll Receive

  • Weekly PAYE pay – no umbrella companies
  • Free CPD, including SEND, Autism, behaviour support, and inclusive practice training
  • Access to free Thrive Training
  • Flexible opportunities to suit your career goals
  • Dedicated consultant support from people who genuinely understand education
