The provision has excellent facilities, including therapy rooms, sensory spaces and outdoor learning areas, and is easily accessible via public transport. In this role, you will: • Lead a small class of primary pupils with autism, planning and delivering engaging, structured and differentiated lessons based on EHCP outcomes and individual learning styles. • Use a range of autism-specific strategies such as visual timetables, now-and-next boards, TEACCH and sensory integration approaches. • Work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team including TAs, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and behaviour specialists. • Create a predictable, supportive classroom environment that prioritises communication, emotional regulation, and routine. • Monitor progress closely, adapting planning accordingly, and contributing to reviews, reports and parent/carer meetings. What we’re looking for: • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and experience teaching primary-aged pupils with SEND, ideally autism. • A good understanding of ASC, including how it impacts communication, behaviour, and learning. • Experience working in a special school or specialist provision is highly desirable. • Skilled in differentiation, behaviour support, and alternative communication strategies (e.g. PECS, Makaton). • A calm, creative and resilient approach, with a passion for supporting children with complex needs.
