This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine impact, supporting children and young people aged 8–25 with autism, complex learning difficulties, and behavioural needs.

About the School

This is a forward-thinking and inclusive school that provides specialist education and care for students who may find it difficult to thrive in a traditional classroom environment. Welcoming learners aged 8–25, the school offers a creative and practical curriculum built around real-world experiences, outdoor learning, and community engagement.

The environment is safe, nurturing and stimulating, with a strong focus on celebrating individuality and empowering every student to build confidence, life skills and independence.

• Build positive, trusting relationships with students to encourage engagement and personal growth.
• Work closely with teachers, therapists, and other staff to ensure the best outcomes for each learner.
• Support with behaviour management, communication, and daily activities both inside and outside the classroom.

About You

• Experience working with children or young people with SEND (in schools, youth work, or care settings).
• Patient, empathetic, and proactive in your approach.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Understanding of SEND legislation (e.g. EHCPs) is an advantage.
• A team player with a flexible, solution-focused mindset.
• A driver with access to a vehicle is essential as travel across the two school sites will be required.

Why Join Us?

• A supportive and inclusive school community where staff are valued.
• Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
