About the Role

ARP Teacher - Primary SEN

  • Brent, North-West London
  • Full-Time | Long-Term | ASAP Start
  • Monday to Friday, 8:15am - 3:45pm
  • £140 – £165 PAYE per day, weekly payment

A forward-thinking, inclusive primary school in Brent, North-West London is seeking a compassionate and skilled ARP Teacher to lead its Autism Resource Provision (ARP), supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.

This is a long-term, full-time role, ideal for a qualified or unqualified teacher with a strong SEN background, especially in autism education. The ARP supports children with EHCPs who require a more specialist setting, while promoting inclusion and eventual reintegration into the mainstream classroom.

Key Responsibilities

  • Teach and manage a small group of pupils within the Autism Resource Provision
  • Plan and deliver differentiated lessons in line with individual Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)
  • Foster the development of communication, emotional regulation, and independence
  • Collaborate closely with Teaching Assistants, the SENCO, therapists, and leadership
  • Implement evidence-based strategies, such as TEACCH, PECS, Makaton, or SCERTS
  • Monitor progress, set targets, and maintain detailed pupil records
  • Provide a safe, calm, and structured learning environment that meets pupils' sensory and emotional needs

About the Provision

  • A purpose-built Autism Resource Provision within a mainstream primary school
  • Supports pupils from Reception to Year 6, with a primary focus on Years 1–4
  • All pupils have formal autism diagnoses and EHCPs
  • Many pupils are pre-verbal or use alternative communication methods
  • Low pupil-to-adult ratio, supported by a team of experienced Teaching Assistants

The Ideal SEN Teacher

We welcome applications from:

  • Qualified Teachers (QTS/QTLS) with SEN experience
  • Unqualified Teachers or HLTA-level professionals with strong autism/SEN backgrounds
  • Experienced SEN Teaching Assistants seeking progression

You should demonstrate

  • Experience working with children with autism and complex learning needs
  • Strong behaviour management and a nurturing, structured teaching approach
  • Knowledge of communication strategies (e.g., PECS, AAC, Makaton)
  • Confidence in leading a class and managing support staff effectively
  • A deep understanding of inclusive education and trauma-informed practice
  • A proactive, reflective attitude with a commitment to continuous professional development

What the School Offers

  • A well-resourced, specialist Autism Resource Provision
  • Ongoing training in autism strategies, communication methods, and sensory support
  • Daily support from a consistent team of specialist Teaching Assistants
  • A highly supportive SENCO and leadership team
  • Access to external professionals such as SALTs, OTs, and Educational Psychologists
  • Opportunities for career progression and potential routes into formal teacher training (for unqualified staff)
  • A welcoming, inclusive ethos focused on staff well-being and professional growth.

Why Join This School?

This is more than a teaching job. It's a chance to help shape a nurturing, tailored learning journey for pupils who need specialist support. You will work in a close-knit, experienced team within a school that values empathy, structure, and innovation in SEN teaching.
