New Directions is working closely with a SEND school in Shirley. This all-age (4 to 19 years) specialises in educating children and young people with a lead diagnosis of Autism as well as other additional needs such as non-verbal communication, behaviour that challenges and sensory challenges.
The school is looking for qualified teachers (with QTS) to work on a casual but regular basis, covering planned and unplanned teacher absence across the primary and secondary departments.
The school is very understanding that teachers have their preferred and specialist age-groups and therefore do not expect teachers to work with year groups they are not comfortable with. They require teachers to have experience of working with classes of children with complex Autism, including high staff to learner ratios; teamwork and staff management will be required.
Key Responsibilities:- Following the class teacher's planning (planned and unplanned absence)
- Planning a day of activities in line with abilities and needs of the learners (unplanned absence)
- Working as a team with the TAs in the classroom
- Ensuring the implementation of Individual Education Plans (IEPs), EHCP outcomes
