ASD Specialist Lead

Canbury School provides a unique environment, for both students and staff alike. A co-educational day secondary school with a maximum of 75 students on roll and no more than 15 children in each year and class, we are small, and deliberately so. We provide a high level of care and very good educational facilities up to A-Level and each student is treated very much as an individual, hence our motto “Embracing Difference, Harnessing Talent"

Conveniently reached from all of South-West London and Surrey, it’s now an exciting time to join this friendly, close-knit and supportive team, and be an integral part of its continuing success. We offer an exciting career opportunity for someone who wants to make a contribution to the development of the high standards of achievement and attainment evident in the school.

The successful applicant will:

• Have significant experience of working with children and/or young people with special needs and be committed to continual professional development
• Have a can-do attitude, a desire and willingness to commit to further training and the high energy levels required when working with children with autism.
• Be ambitious to support and extend the learning opportunities for all of our pupils.
• Have a commitment to working in partnership with Teachers, Learning Support staff, Speech and Language Therapists, other staff, parents and the community to reduce the barriers to learning that children and young people with autism face and promote excellent learning opportunities for all.

You will receive professional development to meet your individual needs and a very supportive Headteacher and SENCO to mentor you throughout your career at Canbury School. 

The students are the heart of everything we do, so you will be happy to contribute to the range of tasks associated with a busy, successful school and be willing to go the extra mile to make their experience as enriching as possible.
