The successful candidate will deliver engaging, thematic lessons that are highly interactive and activity-based, ensuring each child has the opportunity to participate, learn, and thrive in a supportive environment.

Our school caters for children with a range of complex needs, including Autism, ADHD, and MLD - PMLD. The role will focus on supporting students with significant cognitive, physical, and sensory impairments, using a variety of approaches to ensure every child is engaged and making progress.

  • Use a variety of teaching approaches, including sensory-based learning, communication aids, and interactive activities, to support students’ academic, social, and personal development.
  • Incorporate physical and sensory activities into the curriculum to help students with physical impairments and sensory processing difficulties engage with learning in a meaningful way.
  • Create a stimulating and safe learning environment, making use of specialist resources such as sensory rooms, outdoor spaces, and assistive technologies.
  • Work closely with support staff and the wider multidisciplinary team (e.g., physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists) to deliver individualised learning plans and care.
  • Track and assess progress, maintaining detailed records and adjusting learning strategies to meet the evolving needs of each child.
  • Promote the development of communication skills using approaches such as PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), Makaton, or AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).
  • Encourage and support the development of life skills and independence, using everyday activities and routines to provide meaningful learning experiences.
  • Work in close partnership with families and carers to ensure that learning extends beyond the classroom, supporting students’ development in all areas of life.

What We Offer:

  • A supportive and inclusive school environment, with access to specialist facilities including sensory rooms, therapy spaces, and outdoor learning areas.
  • The opportunity to deliver innovative and creative lessons, using thematic topics and activity-based learning to keep students engaged and excited about their learning.
  • A focus on professional development, with tailored training in areas such as PMLD, sensory integration, and communication strategies to help you excel in your role.
  • The chance to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing a holistic approach to each child’s education and well-being.
  • A rewarding role where you can make a real difference in the lives of young children with complex needs, helping them reach their full potential.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent, with experience working with children with ASD or SEN in an educational or care setting.
  • A creative and activity-based approach to teaching, with a passion for developing thematic, multisensory lessons that keep students engaged and support their individual learning needs.
  • Experience with communication strategies such as PECS, Makaton, or AAC, and a commitment to using these methods to promote independence and communication skills.
  • Strong collaboration skills, working closely with support staff, therapists, and families to create a tailored, holistic approach to each child’s learning and development.
  • A patient, nurturing, and adaptable teaching style, with the ability to manage and respond to the complex needs of students with profound learning difficulties.
  • A commitment to inclusive education, ensuring all students, regardless of their needs, can access learning in a meaningful way.
