Unsted Park School is set in a beautiful semi-rural location with 44 acres of surrounding grounds. We are a SEN school specialising in the education and care of children and young people between the age of 7 to 19 years who are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum with associated learning difficulties. We are committed to providing the highest level of education and care in a safe, positive environment that enables each individual to achieve their maximum potential. A school lift/taxi service is available from Guildford Train station if required.

• Employee Assistance Programme
• Commitment to your ongoing training and career progression

The focus of the whole school approach is in three core areas: education, independence and inclusion. Based on these core areas we provide individual, person-centred programmes which recognise individual abilities and strengths and help students to reach their full potential.

Main duties and expectations:

• You will receive and respond promptly to referrals undertaking initial assessments to establish the scope, level and nature of the individual young person's therapeutic and mental health needs.
• You will lead and facilitate group and/or individual therapy sessions, short and long-term, ensuring interventions continue to meet the needs of the YP and are consistent with the provisions detailed in their therapy plan.
• You will manage, monitor and review an assigned caseload, ensuring delivery within the agreed timescales.
• Ability to work independently and with previous experience of working with young people with ASD, preferably within an education setting, is essential.

Above all, we provide a supportive and collaborative working environment where you can flourish in your career and feel incredibly rewarded by helping those who need it most.
