Brightstone Education Partners is recruiting for SEN Class Teachers on behalf of a highly regarded specialist school in Maidenhead supporting children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
This is an exciting opportunity to join an all-age specialist setting that places individuality, respect, and meaningful progress at the centre of everything it does. The school has developed an outstanding reputation for providing personalised education, evidence-based practice, and exceptional support for pupils with autism. The school combines specialist teaching, therapeutic approaches, and a collaborative multidisciplinary team to help every learner achieve their full potential.
The Role
As a Class Teacher, you will be responsible for delivering engaging, personalised learning programmes that support pupils with autism across a range of ages and abilities.
You will:
* Lead a class of pupils with autism and additional needs
* Plan, deliver, assess, and adapt learning to meet individual needs
* Create a safe, structured, and nurturing learning environment
* Work closely with teaching assistants, therapists, and families
* Monitor progress and contribute to EHCP outcomes
* Support pupils' communication, independence, wellbeing, and preparation for adulthood
* Promote positive behaviour through consistent and supportive approaches

Benefits include:
* Teachers' Pay Scale plus SEN Allowance
