Overview

Exciting Temp-to-Perm Teaching Opportunity – Make a Real Difference Every Day

Are you a passionate and creative teacher looking for a rewarding role that could lead to a permanent position? We’re offering a unique temp-to-perm opportunity for an educator who thrives in a non-traditional, nurturing environment supporting children with profound autism and severe learning difficulties.

This role is based in a residential setting where education happens throughout the waking day—not in classrooms, but through play, life experiences, and meaningful interactions. You’ll be part of a team that sees every moment as a chance to teach and inspire.

Why this role stands out

• Creative freedom – No classroom constraints. You’ll design engaging, hands-on activities that meet curriculum standards while sparking joy and curiosity.
• Whole-child focus – Education and care are fully integrated, supported by a multidisciplinary team using positive behaviour support and solution-focused methods.
• Year-round learning – With 52-week provision, you’ll help children build essential life skills and prepare for adulthood in a truly holistic way.

Your role will include

• Leading the education and care of a small group of children, supported by a dedicated team.
• Developing and monitoring personalised learning and care plans.
• Supporting staff development and contributing to rota planning.
• Bringing creativity and flexibility to curriculum planning and delivery.

What we’re looking for

• Experience with children who have severe learning difficulties and autism.
• Qualified Teacher Status and SEN experience would be essential.
• Understanding of the National Curriculum and differentiation.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a passion for inclusive education.
• Knowledge of PROACT SCIPr-UK® is desirable, but training will be provided.

Working hours

Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm, plus one Saturday in every 7 to support fun weekend activities. Annual leave can be taken during term time or school holidays, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle.

What’s on offer

• Competitive pay (Teacher Pay Scale M1–M6)
• Funded qualifications and career development support
• Generous referral scheme
• Free staff meals on shift
• On-site parking
• Discounted gym membership
• Established wellbeing support

This is a fantastic opportunity to start on a temporary basis and transition into a permanent role where your creativity, compassion, and commitment will be truly valued.

All applicants must have the Right to Work in the UK and be willing to undertake an enhanced DBS check. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
