Do you believe art can unlock what words cannot?We’re looking for an Artist-Educator to deliver inspiring KS4 Art sessions across Sheffield’s SEN settings-working with students who have Autism, SEMH, and other learning differences. This isn’t about perfect technique. It’s about building confidence, emotional regulation, and self-expression through paint, clay, and creativity.

The Role:

• Lead mixed-media workshops adapted for sensory and cognitive needs
• Make exam board portfolios accessible and unthreatening
• Build trust with pupils who’ve disengaged from traditional education
• Work in small groups or 1:1 settings

Why Academics?

• Choose your days – total flexibility
• Placements matched to your strengths
• Dedicated SEN consultant on hand
• No planning or marking – just teach
• £125 voucher for every teacher you refer

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive daily pay based on experience (PAYE, weekly, inc. holiday pay)
• Free CPD, including SEN-specific training
• Variety of school environments
• The reward of helping teens achieve qualifications they never thought possible

You’ll Need:

• QTS with an Art specialism (Secondary trained preferred)
• Ability to simplify complex ideas into hands-on learning
• Patience, positivity, and calm under pressure
• Rapid rapport-building with reluctant learners
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain)

SEN experience helpful but not essential – passion and empathy matter most.
