  • Experience in specialist schools, PRUs or alternative provisions is highly desirable.

  • Additional training such as Team Teach, Autism Awareness or communication-based strategies (e.g. Makaton, PECS) would be advantageous.
Personal qualities are key. We are looking for teachers who are:

Patient, nurturing and resilient
Creative and adaptable in their teaching approach
Skilled in behaviour management within specialist settings
Committed to safeguarding and inclusive practice
Passionate about making a lasting difference
