Forest House School provides specialist education for young people  aged 14-16 with high functioning autism. Pupils may also have  challenging behaviour as a result of their communication difficulties  and a lack of social understanding. 

We are seeking to appoint a committed and reflective teacher to join our vibrant and enthusiastic team.

Here at Forest House, you will have the opportunity to work with very  small groups of students and make a real difference to their lives. You  will receive high levels of teaching assistant support, along with  Autism and behaviour training where required.

You will demonstrate excellent skills in planning and teaching within  key stage 4 and have the ability to support student’s academic learning  in an autism friendly way, as well as supporting wider behavioural and  emotional needs.

You will also:

  • Share our passion for high aspiration and achievement for all
  • Have excellent interpersonal skills
  • Be highly organised and adaptable
  • Be committed to working in partnership with parents and outside agencies.

The following skills would be of benefit to the role:

  • A good knowledge of autism and/or experience of working with young people on the autism spectrum
  • Experience in teaching English is preferable. However, teachers  with different specialisms (subjects or age range) will be considered.
