Have you successfully engaged and taught autistic children?

Are you caring, patient and resilient?

Do you want to leave work with a smile on your face?

If you’re answering “Yes!” to the above questions, then we’d love to speak to you. As you know, working with autistic children and young people with other types of SEN can be demanding and challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. This is your chance to bring your knowledge, skills and expertise to our growing team of inspirational Education Specialists.

In addition to other children, we’re looking for two Education Specialists to work with an Acton-based 12 year old autistic boy who also has ADHD.

The sessions will be centred around the Primary National Curriculum.

As one of the education specialists working with him, you’ll play a key part in planning and delivering a creative and bespoke learning programme designed around his social, emotional, physical and academic needs.
