A rewarding Upper KS2 teaching role within a specialist Autism provision. Small classes of just 8 pupils, strong staff support and the chance to make a real difference helping pupils with ASD build confidence, engagement and independence in learning. A Role Where Teaching Feels Meaningful This specialist provision supports pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) who benefit from a structured, calm and highly supportive learning environment. With small classes and high staffing levels, teachers are able to focus on what matters most - building relationships, unlocking potential and helping pupils rediscover confidence in learning.
