  • Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Supervise and guide support staff within your classroom.
  • Contribute to curriculum development and whole-school initiatives.
  • Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of autism, SEND practice and relevant legislation.
  • Liaise effectively with parents, carers, external agencies and other professionals.

Behaviour & Pastoral Support

  • Manage challenging behaviours in line with school policies.
  • Work in a non-confrontational, trauma-informed manner.
  • Promote a positive, nurturing, relationship-based learning environment.

 

What We’re Looking For

Essential

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Experience working with pupils with ASC and SEND
  • Ability to deliver a differentiated curriculum
  • Strong knowledge of the national curriculum
  • Understanding of SEMH needs and complex presentations
  • Strong planning, assessment and communication skills

Desirable

  • Additional SEN qualifications
  • Experience in a special school or specialist provision
  • Experience designing curriculum for SEND learners
  • Knowledge of co-occurring conditions related to autism

 

Additional Information

  • Driving is desirable due to limited public transport in the area.
  • Role may involve occasional travel for training.
  • All staff are expected to align with the school’s values, take part in CPD, safeguarding training, supervision and relevant legislative requirements.

 

🌟 Why Apply?

This is a rare chance to join a new, forward-thinking SEND provision at a hugely exciting time. You’ll have a meaningful impact on the lives of young people while developing your own skills, with strong support from a collaborative and skilled team.
