This is a rare chance to bring your established skills to a new setting and influence the school's culture and success from its inception. This new provision is dedicated to supporting young people aged 11-16 with complex needs related to social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing, typically associated with Autism. The model is highly structured, featuring small class sizes, exceptional classroom support ratios, and a fully integrated multi-disciplinary intervention team (including therapists and clinical specialists).

  • Curriculum Implementation: Collaborating with teachers to implement and adjust sophisticated learning activities that reinforce curriculum concepts within the context of a student's therapeutic plan
  • Professional Feedback: Providing detailed, nuanced feedback on pupil progress, behavioural data, and relationships to inform ongoing educational and therapeutic strategies
  • Safeguarding Leadership: Championing the highest standards of Safeguarding principles and Child Protection procedures across the provision

Requirements:

  • Proven, substantial experience working within a relevant SEND Provision (e.g., Autism, SEMH, complex needs)
  • Demonstrated expertise in managing a complex range of approaches to behaviours that challenge
  • Comprehensive understanding of Safeguarding and Child Protection procedures
  • Minimum Grade 4 (or equivalent) in GCSE Maths and English

Nice to have:

  • A relevant qualification such as an L2/L3 award in supporting teaching and learning in schools or equivalent
  • Prior experience working within a multi-cultural, inclusive setting
  • Familiarity with clinical approaches (e.g., trauma-informed practice, sensory integration principles, communication aids)
What we offer:
  • Enhanced Pension and Life Assurance
  • Fully funded training and qualifications
  • Free membership to our Health Cash Back Plan
  • Perkbox (offering high street discounts)
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Car lease scheme
