SANZA Teaching Agency are delighted to be working with a specialist SEND school in Brent who are seeking to appoint a dedicated and experienced SEND Class Teacher to join their Year 5 team from 30th November 2026.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about special educational needs and enjoys working in a smaller, specialist classroom environment.

With just 7 pupils in the class, this position offers the opportunity to provide individualised teaching, build strong relationships with pupils and make a meaningful difference to their learning and development.

The Role

As the Year 5 SEND Class Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering engaging and appropriately adapted lessons to a small class of 7 pupils with special educational needs.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Building positive relationships with pupils and their families.

The School

The position is based within a specialist SEND school in Brent, North West London, providing an educational setting for pupils with additional learning needs.

The small class size of just 7 pupils allows teachers to take a personalised approach to learning, with greater opportunities to understand each pupil's individual strengths, needs and progress.

This opportunity would particularly suit a teacher who enjoys working closely with pupils and is motivated by helping children overcome barriers to learning.

  • A patient, calm and flexible approach to teaching.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

  • A genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs.
