Job Description

Leigh Academy Rainham are recruiting for a brand new SEN Teacher starting January 2027 or earlier. In 2025, we proudly launched the Meegan Centre - our brand-new Specialist Resourced Provision designed specifically for children with moderate learning difficulties and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) working up to three years below age-related expectations. As the provision expands year on year, we are seeking an experienced, primary-trained specialist to lead the design and delivery of a targeted English and Maths curriculum. This role focuses on embedding the core foundational skills Key Stage 3 students need to succeed in their future GCSEs. This is an exciting opportunity to combine small-group SEND teaching in a state-of-the-art facility with a broader, whole-school impact on foundational core skills across mainstream classes. As the provision expands, the role will naturally evolve in collaboration with the inclusion and foundational skills leadership teams.
