About this role
Specialist SEN Teacher
Advance Your Practice in Behaviour Analysis
Are you an experienced SEN educator ready to master a specialised, evidence-based approach? Move beyond general SEN teaching and join an 'Outstanding' Ofsted-rated school for children with autism (ages 4-19) where instruction is fully driven by Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). This is a role for teachers who want to perfect their craft and collaborate within a genuine multi-disciplinary team.
We offer a better work-life balance with less administrative load (less marking or large-scale planning), allowing you to focus on high-impact pupil outcomes.
