Apply NowJob Title: ASD Specialist Teacher (Primary SEMH Setting)
Location: Rotherham
Contract: Temporary, Term-Time Only (Monday-Friday)
Start Date: Immediate
Unlock Potential. Join Academics as an ASD Lead Teacher.
Do you speak the language of patterns, predictability, and passion-led learning? Academics is searching for an understanding and analytical Primary Teacher to join a specialist hub in Rotherham, supporting children on the Autism spectrum who face additional social and emotional barriers.
Your Mission:
Decode Behaviour as Communication: Move past standard behaviour management. You will interpret triggers, design sensory-friendly resources, and implement individualised structures that reduce anxiety and prevent overwhelm.
Create Order from Chaos: For autistic pupils struggling with trauma or emotional dysregulation, routine is medicine. You will establish a highly visual, low-demand environment where students feel safe enough to unmask and engaged enough to grow.
The Ideal Candidate:
Holds QTS with demonstrable experience or a deep fascination for ASD strategies (e.g., TEACCH, PECS, or Zones of Regulation).
Possesses a logical, calm mindset; you notice the subtle shifts in mood or sensory input that others miss.
Finds professional joy in scripting, special interests, and the "quiet breakthroughs" that happen when a child finally trusts you.
Non-Negotiables:
An active Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or immediate willingness to process one).
Verifiable references confirming your expertise with neurodiverse, vulnerable learners.
The Rewards:
Structured Hours: Term-time only consistency to prevent your own burnout.
Specialist Rates: Competitive pay that honours your niche skillset.
Deep Fulfilment: Work within a Sheffield provision that actually understands masking, meltdowns, and monotropism-where your adaptations are celebrated, not questioned.
