Who we and our customers are
We are the leading UK charity for people with autism and their families. We provide information, support and pioneering services, and campaign for a better world for people with autism. We are proud of the difference we make.
Who we are looking for
We are a new and forward thinking Autism Specific Specialist Free School seeking an enthusiastic and committed Teacher to work across the Primary Department within the school.
Supported by the National Autistic Society Academies Trust, by the third year of opening, we will cater for up to 60 young people aged 4-19 with Autism and Asperger Syndrome. As a part of the NAS Academies
Trust, we are developing significant professional and working partnerships with the already established
Independent NAS schools drawing on knowledge and expertise through professional working relationships to ensure best practise is shared.
This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of our school’s continued development where you will be working closely with the Principal, Deputy Principal Teaching and Support staff to improve learning outcomes for all pupils.
We aim to deliver the highest level of education and experiences to ensure that the best life chances become a sustainable reality for every young person (on an individual needs led basis). Together, we will create a safe, positive and structured environment in which every young person is respected and encouraged to achieve independence (through academic, employment and personal skills development).
To be considered for this role, you will need to be able to demonstrate a desire for improving pupil outcomes (including those of high aspiration and vision), as well as some specialist ASD knowledge
(through experience and/or practice). The right candidate will have a passion for teaching and learning and the skills to engage, inspire and motivate our students. You will also offer a flexible approach to your role and be confident in delivering learning and development to a small group and across various levels of academic ability.
By joining our team, you would:
Have an opportunity to make a difference to the lives of our pupils and to our school;
Meet and work with wonderful, hardworking pupils and colleagues;
Have increased opportunities for continued professional development.
