Cover SEN Class Teacher (autism)

We are looking to appoint a cover teacher, to work across all phases of our School (EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4). This is an opportunity for a teacher who wishes to actively collaborate in an ambitious team. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience of delivering tailored and personalised learning programmes for children with SEND.

We offer a comprehensive and bespoke CPD programme throughout the year and have a good record of upskilling staff at all levels. As all children have an EHCP and are working significantly below age‑related expectations, the role is more likely to suit those who are trained/experienced within Early Years, Primary or Special settings. ECTs and those with SEN/autism experience are also welcome to apply.

We operate an EYFS/Primary model of teaching up to and including Year 13 with some specialist teaching in Y10‑13. We are seeking to appoint class teachers who are:

• Passionate about high quality personalised provision for children with autism.
• An excellent teacher with experience or expertise in working with pupils with complex needs in EYFS/Primary/Special Needs.
• Will be an excellent role model, especially encouraging positive relationships with everyone they come into contact with.
• Equipped with strong inter‑personal skills.
• A resilient practitioner committed to further development.
• Someone who loves working closely with others to change things for the better.
