Job Description

We are excited to be recruiting for full‑time and part-time Autism Support Workers (8.45-3.45) for a brand‑new special needs school in Knowle West opening in September. Our partnered school is being opened by an already Ofsted Outstanding provider known for exceptional care, specialist expertise, and a strong commitment to inclusion. This is a rare opportunity to become part of the founding team, supporting children with severe and profound disabilities and helping to establish the culture, routines, and values of a brand‑new school from day one. Your role will be vital in helping students thrive during their foundation years and beyond. While the school opens in September, we are ideally looking for candidates who can start sooner and spend time at the existing site in Fishponds. This early start will give you valuable training, insight into the school’s ethos, and hands‑on experience with the approaches and routines that make Briarwood exceptional. You will work with secondary pupils on the autism spectrum, supporting them in developing independence, communication, emotional regulation, and life skills as they progress toward adulthood.
