Autism Resource Base – Teacher required with Mathematics specialism.

MPS/UPS - + 1 SEN point

Do you know how to get the best out of students? We are seeking to appoint a reflective and committed teacher to join our successful Autism Resource Base from September 2024.

The Autism Resource Base (ARB) at Bitterne Park School is an established specialist provision whose aims are to meet the academic potential of its students, to develop their individual social and communication skills, whilst supporting environmental, sensory and anxiety difficulties and any associated challenging behaviours.

The ARB’s core values of ‘Respect, Engage and Achieve’ permeate all aspects of everyday life in the provision.

We are looking for an experienced, secondary mainstream Mathematics teacher who would like to specialise in teaching small groups (maximum 10) of students who are on the spectrum. The ability to think creatively and to manage and engage a range of student needs in the provision, in a stimulating and challenging way, is essential.

Bitterne Park School is committed to supporting your professional development and career aspirations. We are proud to have recently received a bronze Teacher Development Trust award for our CPD programme and offer a menu of opportunities whatever the stage of your career. 

As the lead school for the Bitterne Park Teacher Training Alliance, we offer our staff access to an excellent ECT programme, a broad range of high-quality training and the opportunity to work in various capacities with colleagues from our partner schools. 

We are committed to pedagogical coaching as the most effective way of developing our classroom practice and this is available to any member of staff wishing to opt into this element of our CPD programme.

We actively encourage and support staff to undertake the full range of NPQ qualifications and would welcome applications from candidates who are interested in this development route. Further information on these can be found here : NPQs For You - LLSE

• A commitment to staff wellbeing. We have a dedicated Staff Wellbeing Coordinator
