The school supports up to 66 pupils overall, many of whom present with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Complex Needs, ADHD, PDA, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
Within the Primary Division, a significant number of pupils are non-verbal or emergent communicators, requiring a highly nurturing, patient, and creative teaching approach.

* Create a calm, structured, and sensory-aware learning environment
* Implement positive behaviour support strategies and emotional regulation techniques
* Work closely with LSAs, therapists, and the wider multidisciplinary team
* Track progress through EHCP outcomes, small-step targets, and developmental milestones
* Build trusting relationships with pupils to support engagement, confidence, and communication
Key Requirements:
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or equivalent
* Experience teaching in the UK (essential)
* Experience working with pupils with ASC and complex communication needs (highly desirable)
* An understanding of alternative and augmentative communication approaches
* A calm, consistent, and empathetic teaching style
* Strong collaboration skills and a commitment to inclusive practice
This is an incredibly rewarding opportunity for a Teacher who values progress beyond academics and wants to make a genuine difference in the early stages of a child's educational journey.
