    About Us:

    We are a small team of advisory teachers enabling the inclusion of children and young people in mainstream schools. Our team was developed after a restructure five years ago of the Language and Communication Team and the Specific Literacy Difficulties Team. We offer advice and support to staff in mainstream schools ensuring they have the confidence and skills to support pupils with language and/or literacy difficulties and we sit as a team within the Learning Advisory Service (LAS) which sits within the wider SEN Services.

    The role:

    You need to be well organised and above all, an amazing communicator and skilled practitioner. We deliver training on a range of interventions, and we deliver whole school INSET. We have developed a dyslexia pathway which we offer training and support on. We work in close partnership with other specialist teams in the borough and with our partners in the health services.

    We will have vacancy from September 2026, following retirement of the present post holder. We are keen to recruit a skilled and experienced teacher who can work in an advisory capacity and is familiar with working in a diverse multi-cultural environment.

    An ideal candidate would have experience of work across the age range. You may have a wider knowledge of special educational needs and will show a commitment to supporting successful inclusion. You will also appreciate the importance of teamwork and be able to show evidence of supporting colleagues. 

    If you believe you have the right skills and experience for this post, and you want to come and work in a dynamic borough like Tower Hamlets, then we would like to hear from you. Please email [email protected]  if you would like more information.
