- Access to excellent resources, including sensory spaces and communication tools (e.g. PECS, visual timetables).
- Work alongside a highly trained team of TAs, therapists, and SEN specialists.

- Monitor progress in both academic and life skills development.
- Work collaboratively with parents, carers, and external professionals (e.g. SALT, OT).
- Create a calm, predictable, and nurturing classroom environment.
What We’re Looking For
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
- Experience working with pupils with ASD and/or learning difficulties.
- Understanding of autism-specific strategies and approaches.
- A patient, resilient, and nurturing teaching style.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
- Based in or within commuting distance of Sutton.
What We Offer
- £37,000 – £56,000 (Outer London Pay Scale).
