Fixed Term Teaching Position

The cohort will cover age ranges from Year 4 - 7 and classes will be grouped based on need rather than ages. From September you will lead a mixed Year 4 and 5 class of pupils with autism and some with associated learning needs, within a well-resourced classroom, supported by two teaching assistants and a highly collaborative Year 4-7 team. All teachers and classes are reviewed annually based on expertise and experience, but we would expect this role to continue within our younger year groups moving forward.

The successful candidate will be a dedicated and reflective practitioner who is passionate about helping children with a range of special educational needs thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Our curriculum pathways are carefully mapped and resourced to support National Curriculum coverage at the appropriate stage, with identified interventions to remove barriers to learning. You will also have the flexibility to plan and deliver creative, engaging and appropriately challenging lessons that draw on pupils’ strengths and interests.

A strong understanding of inclusive practice, adaptive teaching and strategies to support communication, sensory needs and emotional regulation will be essential. You will work closely with colleagues, families and external professionals to support pupils’ holistic development and contribute positively to the wider life of the school.
