Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

The CEO of SECAT is seeking to appoint a Specialist Teacher for our new Autism Resource Base (ARB) at Thorpedene Primary School and Nursery.

This position is for a September 2025 or January 2026 start.

This role is central to delivering the highest quality provision for some of our students who join the ARB. The post requires an experienced teacher to support and teach the students a personalised curriculum. This will involve assisting these students to access mainstream education and develop personal and social skills. The postholder will help to set a climate for learning and create an ethos in which every child matters and is supported to reach their full potential.

The postholder will receive a SEN1 Allowance.

What the school offers its staff

At Thorpedene we strive to provide a welcoming, friendly and happy learning environment for all our children. This is achieved through our hardworking whole school community including parents, Governors, Trustees and our dedicated team of staff and not forgetting the vital part – our children! We work collaboratively with a clear focus on our school vision and values.

Our aim at Thorpedene is to provide a purposeful, well-balanced curriculum which stimulates learning, encouraging reflective children to have the independence and self-confidence to live and learn, now and in the future.

We are determined to ensure that every child who attends Thorpedene continues to succeed in a supportive learning environment based on the school core values of Achieving, Caring, Respecting with Confidence. We know that children learn better when they are happy. Here at Thorpedene Primary School & Nursery we continue to put the best interests of every child at the heart of our school and ensure that every child is nurtured and challenged to achieve their true potential and pursue their dreams.

We are proud to be a part of the Southend East Community Academy Trust (SECAT) along with Bournes Green Infant School, Bournes Green Junior School, Hinguar Primary School, Richmond Avenue Primary School and Shoeburyness High School.
