A Rare Opportunity

Are you an experienced SEN practitioner ready to leave your mark on a brand-new provision?

In September 2025, we launched a state-of-the-art secondary school in Chaldon, specifically designed for students (ages 11-16) with social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing needs. We are seeking a high-calibre History & Geography Teacher who understands that for neurodivergent learners, the humanities are not just subjects-they are windows into understanding the world and their place within it.

The Role

Impact & Innovation

As a founding member of our academic team, you won't just be following a scheme of work; you will be instrumental in adapting the National Curriculum to meet the complex profiles of our students.

-

Autism-Led Pedagogy

Deliver high-quality learning tailored to students who require a non-confrontational, sensory-aware approach.

-

Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration

Work at the intersection of education and therapy, collaborating daily with our supernumerary clinical team to ensure every EHCP target is met.

-

Curriculum Development

Lead the Humanities offering by creating short, medium, and long-term plans that balance academic challenge with emotional regulation.

-

Mentorship & Growth

Contribute your expertise to a growing team as we expand across our Chaldon and Caterham sites.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a specialist who moves beyond "standard" differentiation.

You should possess

-

Proven SEN Expertise

Extensive experience working with students with Autism, PDA profiles, or complex SEMH needs.

-

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS)

Essential for the £5,000 welcome bonus.

-

A Therapeutic Mindset

The ability to maintain pace and motivation in the classroom while remaining flexible to the fluctuating sensory needs of your students.

-

Founding Spirit

The resilience and "can-do" attitude required to launch a new school and establish a positive, inclusive culture from day one.

Why Join Us?

We offer more than just a competitive salary. This is a chance to move away from the constraints of large-scale mainstream settings and join a model defined by small classes, high staff-to-student ratios, and clinical support.

"We give students every opportunity to achieve. We need teachers who believe that no ceiling should be placed on a child's potential."

Step into a role where your experience is valued and your autonomy is respected. For more information, please call Paul on 01293 527416 or email paul.hirchfield@randstad.co.uk
