Trainee Teacher

Location: Cranleigh, Surrey Salary: Competitive Entry-Level Scale + Fully Funded Professional Development Are you looking for a career where "making a difference" isn't just a cliché, but a daily reality? We are seeking a dedicated, resilient, and empathetic Trainee Teacher to join our world-class specialist school. We provide an outstanding education for children and young people on the autism spectrum. This isn't your typical classroom role; you'll be working within a multidisciplinary team using evidence-based, data-driven approaches to unlock the potential of every pupil. The Role As a Trainee Teacher, you won't be thrown into the deep end alone. You will work 1:1 or in small groups with students, learning to implement bespoke educational and behavioural programs. Learn as You Earn: Gain hands-on experience in Special Educational Needs (SEN) while receiving comprehensive internal training. Behavioural Expertise: Master the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to support communication and life skills. Collaborative Growth: Work alongside Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists to provide holistic support. What We're Looking For Passion over Experience: You don't need a teaching degree yet. We value personality, patience, and a genuine desire to support young people with complex needs. Resilience: The ability to remain calm and positive in challenging situations. Communication: Strong verbal and written skills for reporting on student progress. Education: A degree is preferred (ideally in Psychology or Education), but we welcome candidates with strong A-Levels and a heart for social care. Why Join Us? "The best part of this job is seeing a student master a skill they've struggled with for years. You aren't just teaching a curriculum; you're providing a voice." Career Progression: Clear pathways to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst (BCaBA) roles. Supportive Environment: High staff-to-pupil ratios and a culture of peer support. Location: Based in the beautiful Surrey countryside with onsite parking.
