  • Support pupils’ communication skills, emotional regulation, and independence
  • Monitor progress and contribute to EHCP reviews and personalised learning plans
  • Foster a calm, inclusive, and positive classroom environment

✅ Ideal Candidate

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent
  • Experience working with Autism / complex SEN needs (school, specialist provision, or PRU)
  • Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills
  • Knowledge of strategies such as TEACCH, SCERTS, or Attention Autism (desirable)
  • Patient, resilient, and committed to inclusive education

🎓 What the School Offers
