Class Teacher - ASD Hub

Job details

In September 2023 we opened a new Designated Provision for children who have Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and an associated Education, Health and Care Plan. This provision was extended to our second hub in September 2024; both complement our school SEND offer.

You will be working alongside an established team and will report to the Headteacher, and be supported by the Deputy Headteacher, SENCOs and the staff member who leads the other base. The Governors, staff and students are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dedicated and highly motivated teacher to join our inclusive school. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a team which is expanding the existing specialist provision within the school. The successful candidate will be working with students at EYFS, Key Stage 1 and at KS2 academic level.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Has a history of excellent classroom practice

• Ideally has ASD/SEND-specific experience.  SENCO accreditation is desirable but not essential.

• Awareness of (and ability to implement) Speech and Language programmes would be helpful

• Has experience of managing support staff and maintaining and developing close partnerships with parents, carers and external agencies

 • Has the ability to implement EHCPs

 • Has supported pupils with a wide range of needs and can demonstrate the positive impact their teaching has had on these pupils

 • Can adapt and respond to the varying needs and challenges children with ASD can sometimes display.

 • Has a clear and up-to-date understanding of the SEND code of practice, safeguarding and equalities issues

 • Will contribute to the wider strategic direction of the school and promote positive behaviour across the school

 • Has high expectations of what children can achieve

 • Is willing to take a full part in the life of the school

 

We can offer:

• The opportunity to work with an already established SEND team, providing support, training and advice.

 • Caring, dedicated staff

• Exceptionally supportive parents and governors

• A commitment to your professional development

• An opportunity to be part of a thriving school community

• A stimulating working environment, both inside and out

• A vibrant, inclusive and exciting place to work.

 

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

 The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced check and further pre-employment checks will be conducted in accordance with KCSIE.  The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
