This is an on-going, possible temp to perm position to start after Easter.
They recognise the importance of helping students with autism to develop problem-solving skills to promote independence both in school and in the transition to adult life. They believe in creating an individualised programme to meet each child's needs adapting a unique 'autistic curriculum. This not only captures the students learning needs but also addresses social, emotional and communication needs of children and young people with autism, and nurtures their independence and well-being.
The successful Unqualified English Teacher will be required to plan and deliver exciting English lessons across the school. Class sizes are small so you are able to meet their individual learning needs. You will be supported by an experienced team of SEN teachers and specialist support staff.

Have recent experience of teaching secondary aged pupils, ideally with SEN
Live in the Southampton area, specifically be able to commute to Totton for work
