The Role
You will teach science to small groups of pupils with autism, tailoring content to meet varied learning profiles and using creative, engaging approaches. Your responsibilities will include:

- Has QTS or equivalent teaching qualification and experience teaching science (secondary or KS3/KS4) in a way that can be adapted for smaller groups and diverse learning needs.
- Has experience or strong interest in working with autistic learners-able to use structured, visual and sensory‑aware strategies and to foster positive communication and independence.
- Is creative, flexible and confident in designing engaging, practical science experiences (experiments, investigations, interactive tasks).
- Has excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills and can work closely with support staff and specialist teams.
The School
This is a specialist provision for pupils on the autism spectrum, offering a nurturing environment and small group classes so that each pupil receives personalised attention and support. The setting values every learner's voice and seeks to develop strong scientific curiosity, independent thinking and lifelong learning skills.
