Job description

The pressure and fast-paced environment of a large classroom is only growing; however, working in a special school with classes limited to up to 6 students allows you to build meaningful relationships with your students.

Transitioning from a mainstream class teacher to a special needs teacher can be nerve-racking, but with the right support and knowledge, Parker Smith Inclusion can make that transition smooth, effective, and a perfect match.

Do you want to work for a school with a strong management structure, clear support strategies, and guidance on how to support your students and their needs?

This special school in East London caters to students with autism, complex needs, behavioral challenges, and speech and communication needs. Currently based on a temporary site, staff work together to support the children in the best way possible. The curriculum revolves around sensory learning, sensory circuits, interventions, self-regulation techniques, visuals, and creating a positive, inclusive learning environment.

The senior leadership team and the Trust are very supportive of all teaching staff, helping shape the curriculum, providing necessary resources, and offering support to manage the pressures and emotional challenges associated with this setting.

They are eager for you to pursue professional development opportunities to enhance your skills. If you're seeking long-term employment and wish to join them on their journey to a new school building, then this role is ideal for you.

If this opportunity inspires you and you'd like to discuss how you can contribute to the school's success, please contact me at 0203 011 4848. I look forward to hearing from you.
