SEND Teacher - SLD / PMLD

SEND Teacher – SLD / PMLD – Wiltshire
Trowbridge | Full Time / Long Term

TeacherActive is working with a specialist SEND provision in Wiltshire to recruit a compassionate and skilled SEND Teacher to support children and young people with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD), Autism (ASC), and complex medical, sensory, and communication needs.

This highly supportive setting provides a nurturing, inclusive environment where pupils follow personalised learning pathways designed around their individual needs and abilities. Learning is often sensory-led, communication-focused, and centred on developing independence and life skills. Staff work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and wider support professionals to ensure pupils are supported holistically throughout their education.

Many pupils communicate using alternative communication approaches such as PECS, Makaton, visual timetables, or communication aids, and benefit from structured routines, sensory regulation, and carefully adapted learning experiences.

The Role

• Plan and deliver highly personalised and engaging lessons tailored to pupils with complex SEND

• Support pupils to develop communication, interaction, and independence skills

• Use sensory-based learning strategies and assistive communication methods

• Create a calm, structured, and supportive classroom environment

• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants, therapists, and specialist staff

• Track and celebrate small but meaningful progress for every pupil
