Are you a passionate and inspiring individual eager to embark on a fulfilling teaching career? We're seeking a dedicated Trainee Teacher to join our supportive team at a specialist school in Cranleigh, committed to providing exceptional education for autistic students.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to gain hands-on experience, develop your pedagogical skills, and make a profound difference in the lives of young people with autism. You'll be part of a nurturing environment where students thrive, and you'll receive comprehensive support and mentorship to achieve a CABAS Teacher Qualification.
What we're looking for:
-
A strong desire to teach and a genuine interest in working with autistic students.
-
A relevant degree (or equivalent qualification) and a commitment to undertaking initial teacher training.
-
At least 6 months of experience working with children or young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), ideally within an educational setting. This could be as a Teaching Assistant, support worker, or similar role.
-
A positive and proactive approach to supporting students, including those who may exhibit challenging behaviours. Your patience, empathy, and ability to build rapport will be crucial.
-
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
-
A valid UK driving license and access to a vehicle, as the role may involve supporting off-site learning opportunities or transporting students.
In this role, you will:
-
Work alongside experienced teachers to plan, deliver, and assess engaging lessons tailored to the individual needs of autistic students.
-
Support students in developing academic skills, life skills, and social understanding.
-
Learn and implement effective strategies for managing challenging behaviours and promoting a positive learning environment.
-
Contribute to the holistic development and well-being of our students.
-
Participate in professional development, mentoring sessions, and all aspects of your teacher training programme.
-
Collaborate with staff, therapists, and families to ensure a consistent and supportive approach.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a rewarding career as a teacher, and you're passionate about empowering autistic learners, we want to hear from you!
