Imagine being part of something from the ground up! We're a fresh, vibrant school that opened in November 2024, dedicated to empowering young people aged 6-16 with Autism Spectrum Disorder, moderate to severe learning needs, and associated difficulties. Our mission? To provide an individualized, specialist approach that truly prepares them for an awesome adult life.

We're all about positive vibes, mutual support, and genuinely valuing every single child. If you're someone who believes in patience, celebrates progress, and can find the humor in everyday life, you'll fit right in! We understand what kids need to thrive - security, value, a balanced learning experience, and opportunities to explore and grow.

• A PGCE, QTS, or equivalent teaching qualification.

• A solid grasp of special educational needs, including relevant curriculum and learning plans.

• The ability to rock a multidisciplinary team and effectively coach others.

• Skills to adapt your teaching and communication to fit every situation.

• Experience supporting students with ASD and complex communication/behavioral needs (desirable, but your passion counts!).

• A knack for identifying and de-escalating emotional and behavioral issues.

• Good IT skills (because who isn't these days?).

• Competitive Salary: From £31,650 to £45,646 p.a. (M1-UPS1) - because you're worth it!

• Full-Time, Permanent Position: Stability and a chance to truly embed yourself.
