Do you have the skills and enthusiasm to inspire young people with SEMH and ASD to achieve their potential, build resilience, and develop independence?

A specialist secondary school in Kingston is seeking a dedicated and understanding Secondary SEND Teacher to join their committed team. The school supports pupils aged 11–16 with a range of needs, including ASD, SEMH, and associated learning difficulties.
