SEN Teacher CV example

What to include in a sen teacher cv: relevant evidence, skills, sample achievement structures and template suggestions.

A useful starting point

QTS plus SEN setting, EHCP caseload, and a progress proof. Two pages. Skip a photo. Skip this if you are a TA — use that example. The title “SEN teacher” without QTS is a problem.

These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.

Evidence to consider

  • QTS
  • Setting (special school, ARP, mainstream SENCO support)
  • EHCP caseload
  • Agencies you worked with

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Taught a class of 8 with mixed cognition profiles in a special school
  • Wrote 12 EHCP contribution reports on time for annual reviews
  • Cut serious incidents 20% in a term after a new sensory circuit
  • Worked with SALT and OT on a shared target sheet

Relevant skills to substantiate

SEN teaching · EHCP · Behaviour support · Multi-agency · Assessment · Safeguarding

What to leave out

  • Photos
  • Identifiable pupil details
  • Every therapy acronym without context
