We are looking for a experienced teacher who has the skills to teach a range of personal development subjects and holds a particular specialism in working with young people who are autistic and who have severe learning difficulties. You will need the skills and expertise to teach learners who are working at pre-entry/entry levels and who may display behaviour that challenge others. Teaching and learning is focused on helping improve their communication and independence whilst preparing them for adulthood. This is an opportunity to make a real difference, to work with some extraordinary young people with additional needs and to inspire them to be the very best they can be.

This role will see you plan and deliver lessons that are good to outstanding, identifying individual learning objectives to ensure that learners are stretched to meet their full potential. You will have high expectations of learners, and effectively track their progress and assess the impact of your teaching. You will deliver practical life and functional skills with a strong focus on developing effective communication skills to meet learner needs, interests and aspirations. You will be required to contribute to the accreditation courses at Entry level and meet the quality assurance standards of Awarding Bodies and Autism Accreditation as part of a team.   

We aim to be a regional and national leader in transforming the lives of young people with complex learning needs through an innovative, evidence-based and compassionate approach to education.

• We promote well-being, the basis of effective learning.
• We develop communication, the basis of engagement in society.
• We focus on skill development, the basis of a productive life.
• At all times we promote independence, a fundamental human right
• We passionately believe that all our learners can access the world of work, in some form, during their lives.
