About St Elizabeth’s Sixth Form
Set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, St Elizabeth’s Centre is a national charity supporting children, young people, and adults with complex needs. Our newly developed Sixth Form offers a unique and specialised learning environment for young people aged 16–19 with a wide range of learning difficulties, disabilities, and health conditions, including epilepsy and autism.

We provide bespoke education and transition support that equips our learners with the skills, confidence, and independence they need for adulthood. It’s a calm, structured, and aspirational environment where meaningful learning takes place every day.

We are proud to be a values-led organisation — aspirational, collaborative, joyful, and compassionate — and we’re looking for a talented teacher who shares our commitment to helping young people live life to the full.

About the Role

Following the successful launch of our brand new Sixth Form in September, we are seeking an exceptional SEN Teacher to join our Sixth Form team to support our increasing admissions as the service continues to grow. In our newly renovated building, purpose built to meet the individual needs of our learners, you will lead a small group of learners with complex profiles, supporting them in the development of academic, life, and employability skills within a highly individualised curriculum.

This is a fantastic opportunity to deliver purposeful, person-centred education in a nurturing and well-resourced setting with each learner having a minimum of 1-1 support. Whether you come from a special or mainstream background, if you’re ready to teach with heart and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

Deliver tailored teaching and learning to meet a wide spectrum of needs — from pre-entry to Entry Level and Functional Skills
Promote independence and real-world skills in line with EHCP outcomes
Work closely with Learning Support Assistants and therapy teams to provide holistic support
Create an inclusive and motivating environment that prepares learners for life beyond education
Track, assess, and report on progress toward academic, personal, and vocational goals
