EYFS SEN Teacher

Are you a nurturing EYFS teacher with a passion for supporting young children with special educational needs from the very start of their learning journey?

Tradewind Recruitment is proud to support a specialist SEN primary school in the North****Lincolnshire area, dedicated to providing early years children with Autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs with the nurturing, structured support they need to thrive.

This is more than a teaching job-it's a chance to help young children take their very first steps toward confidence, communication, and independence.

The Role - EYFS SEN Teacher

As an EYFS SEN Teacher, you'll lead a small class of children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in a specialist school environment. You'll plan multi-sensory, play-based activities that develop communication, social interaction, and early learning skills-while supporting emotional regulation and independence.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering a tailored early years curriculum for children with Autism and complex needs
• Creating a safe, predictable, and stimulating classroom where each child is supported and celebrated
• Using specialist strategies like PECS, Makaton, TEACCH, and sensory integration techniques
• Leading and working alongside skilled teaching assistants to meet daily care and learning needs
• Setting personalised targets and contributing to IEPs and EHCP reviews to track and celebrate every small step of progress
• Collaborating with therapists, families, and SENCOs to ensure holistic, child-centred support

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone with the skills, sensitivity, and dedication to nurture young children with diverse needs.

You will need:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) (EYTS considered with relevant SEN experience)
• Experience in an EYFS setting, ideally with children with SEND
• Knowledge of Autism, learning disabilities, and early childhood development
• Familiarity with early communication strategies (e.g., PECS, Makaton, AAC)
• A calm, patient and positive approach to managing behaviour and sensory needs
• Commitment to inclusive practice and personalised learning

Desirable:

• Experience working in a special school, Autism unit, or EYFS nurture provision
• Training in Team Teach, Attention Autism, or Zones of Regulation

What We Offer

• A rewarding opportunity to shape the start of a child's education journey
• A supportive and compassionate school environment
• Access to high-quality CPD and specialist SEN training
• Small class sizes with excellent TA support
• Competitive pay reflective of experience and impact
