The school supports up to 66 pupils overall, many of whom present with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), Complex Needs, ADHD, PDA, and Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

* Create a calm, structured, and sensory-aware learning environment
* Implement positive behaviour support strategies and emotional regulation techniques
* Work closely with LSAs, therapists, and the wider multidisciplinary team
* Track progress through EHCP outcomes, small-step targets, and developmental milestones
* Build trusting relationships with pupils to support engagement, confidence, and communication

Key Requirements:
* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or equivalent
* Experience teaching in the UK (essential)
* Experience working with pupils with ASC and complex communication needs (highly desirable)
* An understanding of alternative and augmentative communication approaches
* A calm, consistent, and empathetic teaching style
* Strong collaboration skills and a commitment to inclusive practice
