Crynodeb

Are you a passionate Science teacher who believes relationships are at the heart of learning?
Do you thrive in a structured environment where every student is supported to succeed academically and emotionally?
Are you ready to teach in a setting that truly understands neurodiversity?

We are working with a specialist school in Clevedon that supports pupils with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). The school offers a carefully structured, academically focused curriculum, delivered through a highly relational and therapeutic approach.

This is a unique opportunity for a Science Teacher to join a forward-thinking team that prioritises connection, trust, and co-regulation alongside high-quality teaching and learning.

About the Role

• Full-time Science Teacher position

  
  

• Working hours: 08:00 – 16:00 (12:30 finish on Fridays)

  
  

• Plan and deliver engaging, differentiated Science lessons across key stages

  
  

• Support students with a wide range of needs, including ADHD, ASC, and PDA profiles

  
  

• Work collaboratively with a skilled multidisciplinary team

  
  Teaching & Learning Approach

  This setting moves away from traditional behaviourist models and instead focuses on a relational, trauma-informed approach. You will:

  • Use PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) to build trust and engagement

    
    

  • Apply Thrive principles to support emotional development

    
    

  • Follow Team Teach approaches (focused on de-escalation, with no physical interventions)

    
    

  • Co-explore and model learning alongside students

    
    

    In the classroom, you will embrace:

    • Active Learning – engaging students directly in their learning

      
      

    • Formative Assessment – regularly checking understanding to inform next steps

      
      

    • Scaffolding – breaking down complex concepts to support success

      
      

    • Teacher as Facilitator – guiding student-led inquiry rather than leading from the front

      
      What We’re Looking For

      • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent

        
        

      • Experience teaching Science (KS3/KS4 desirable)

        
        

      • A strong understanding of, or willingness to learn about, ADHD, ASC, and PDA

        
        

      • A calm, reflective, and relational approach to teaching

        
        

      • Commitment to structured, high-quality academic delivery

        
        

      • Confidence in adapting teaching to meet diverse and complex needs

        
        What You’ll Gain

        • The opportunity to work in a highly supportive, specialist environment

          
          

        • Ongoing professional development in therapeutic and relational practices

          
          

        • A collaborative team that values wellbeing as much as attainment

          
          

        • A rewarding role where you can make a genuine, lasting impact

          
          

          If you’re ready to teach Science in a setting where relationships come first and every small step matters, we’d love to hear from you.
