At Napier School, part of Options Autism, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and shine. Our students may have autism and complex needs, but they also have incredible strengths, curiosity, and potential — and with the right support, they thrive.

You Will:

You’ll bring:

QTS and a relevant teaching degree

A Full UK Driving Licence

A warm, creative teaching approach

A genuine passion for inclusive education and student wellbeing
