Pace’, an innovative and ground breaking children’s charity and independent school, are seeking to appoint a Specialist SEND Teacher. The role presents the opportunity to work in a highly supportive specialist and child centred environment. 

This position would suit someone who has Qualified Teacher Status ( QTS) and is passionate about meeting the needs of children with SEND. Who is eager to develop their specialist skills while working as part of an incredibly skilled and supportive team.
