SEN Teacher - Specialist Autism Provision

Hours: Full Time, Monday to Friday, Term Time Only

Aspire People is recruiting an experienced SEN Teacher to work within a specialist provision supporting pupils with autism, anxiety-related needs and barriers to accessing traditional classroom learning.

This role is ideal for a teacher who thrives in a highly personalised environment where relationship-building, emotional regulation and individualised learning are at the heart of the curriculum. Pupils are academically able to access elements of a semi-formal or formal curriculum but often require significant support to manage anxiety, confidence and school engagement. ECTs are welcome to apply.

You will teach a small class of pupils who benefit from a highly nurturing, structured and personalised approach. The successful candidate will be responsible for planning and delivering learning that builds confidence and encourages pupils to re-engage positively with education.

Many learners will require support with emotional regulation, self-esteem, social interaction and confidence-building alongside their academic development.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver engaging lessons tailored to individual needs
• Support pupils with autism, anxiety and associated SEND
• Develop strategies to improve engagement, attendance and participation
• Create a safe and nurturing learning environment
• Support pupils to achieve EHCP outcomes
• Work closely with support staff, therapists and families
• Promote independence, resilience and confidence
• Monitor progress and maintain accurate assessment records

Who We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Experience teaching pupils with autism and/or SEND
• Strong understanding of emotionally based school avoidance and anxiety
• Patient, resilient and relationship-focused approach
• Ability to adapt learning to meet individual needs
• Excellent communication and classroom management skills
