We are currently recruiting for a passionate and committed SEND Teacher to join a specialist all-through autism school in Maidenhead from September 2026. This is a full-time position, working Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:00pm, teaching non-verbal pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in a supportive, structured and nurturing environment.
This is a rewarding opportunity for a teacher who is dedicated to helping children and young people with complex additional needs reach their full potential. You will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, differentiated lessons that are tailored to the individual needs of each pupil, promoting communication, independence, emotional wellbeing and academic development through a personalised approach to learning.
The successful candidate will have experience working with pupils with complex SEND needs, particularly those with ASD and communication difficulties. You will be confident using a variety of communication strategies to support non-verbal learners, with experience of approaches such as PECS, Makaton, visual supports, sensory-based learning or other alternative communication methods being highly advantageous.
Working closely with teaching assistants, therapists and families, you will play a key role in creating a consistent and positive learning experience for every pupil. You will need to demonstrate excellent behaviour management skills, remain calm and adaptable in challenging situations, and build strong, trusting relationships that enable pupils to feel safe, engaged and ready to learn.
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential for this role, and previous experience teaching within a SEND setting is highly desirable. We are looking for someone who is patient, resilient and genuinely passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of autistic children and young people.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a dedicated specialist school where every member of staff is committed to providing exceptional education and support, helping pupils develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive both in school and beyond.
