Summary

Specialist Autism Teacher - Transform Learning, Transform Lives

Location: Oldham
Contract: Temporary (with potential to become permanent)
Salary: MPS + SEN Allowance

This isn't just teaching - it's changing the way a child experiences education

We're looking for a Specialist Autism Teacher to join a dedicated SEN provision in Oldham, working with pupils who see and experience the world differently.

In this setting, progress isn't measured in just grades - it's seen in confidence, communication, independence, and trust. Your role will be to create an environment where every pupil feels understood, supported, and able to succeed in their own way.

What makes this role different?

This isn't a one-size-fits-all classroom.

You'll be teaching pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and communication needs in a setting built around:

• Consistency and routine
• Individual learning pathways
• Structured environments
• Strong staff collaboration and support

Every lesson you deliver will be shaped around the individual - not the other way around.

What you'll be doing

You'll take the lead in creating meaningful, accessible learning experiences by:

• Designing and delivering highly personalised lessons
• Supporting pupils with communication, sensory, and social needs
• Using structured and evidence-based approaches to increase engagement
• Helping pupils develop life skills, independence, and emotional awareness
• Working closely with Teaching Assistants, therapists, and SEN professionals
• Building strong partnerships with families and carers
• Creating a classroom that feels safe, predictable, and supportive

You'll be helping pupils not just learn - but believe they can.

Who this role is perfect for

We're looking for someone who:

• Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Has experience working with ASC or additional learning needs
• Understands how to adapt teaching to meet individual learning profiles
• Is calm, reflective, and able to adapt in the moment
• Values progress in all forms, not just academic outcomes
• Works well within a team-focused, multi-disciplinary environment
• Is passionate about making education truly inclusive

What you'll gain

• MPS salary paid from day one, plus SEN allowance
• The chance to work in a specialist autism-focused provision
• A supportive leadership team that understands SEN education
• Access to specialist training and ongoing professional development
• Opportunity to move into a permanent role
• A role where your impact is visible, meaningful, and lasting

Safeguarding

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All applicants will be required to:

• Complete an Enhanced DBS check
• Provide satisfactory references
• Demonstrate a clear understanding of safeguarding responsibilities

Ready to teach in a way that truly makes a difference?

If you want a role where you can change outcomes, build confidence, and help pupils find their place in education - we would love to hear from you.
