Location: Redbridge
Salary: £240 - £285 (PAYE) per day based on experience
Contract Type: Contract, Full - some Hybrid/Remote working
Start Date: ASAP
As a teacher with deep experience in autism and inclusive practice, you've made a tangible difference to the pupils you support. Navigating learning journeys, building trust, and creating environments where autistic children feel understood and valued.
But perhaps you’re now looking for something more strategic. A new chapter where you can have a broader impact, not just on pupils, but on the systems and staff that surround them.
This Autism Advisory Teacher opportunity offers exactly that.
Working as part of a highly respected and collaborative team, you'll advise and coach schools across Redbridge, mainly primary mainstream settings, to improve outcomes for autistic children and young people.
You’ll bring your knowledge, empathy and leadership to:
Guide staff in embedding inclusive, neurodiversity-positive practice
Deliver training for educators and families
Support transitions, placements, and personalised learning plans
Promote wellbeing, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy in autistic pupils
Collaborate with a multi-agency team across education, health, and social care
This is a rare opportunity to step into a borough-wide role where your experience is not only valued but amplified.
What you’ll need:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
Significant experience supporting autistic pupils in educational settings, ideally already as an Advisory Teacher
A strong understanding of strategies like SCERTS, TEACCH, Attention Autism
The ability to inspire, train and support school staff with clarity and compassion
A collaborative, reflective mindset and commitment to inclusive education
A postgraduate qualification in autism or SEND would be an advantage, but is not essential if you bring the right passion and experience.
You’ll be joining a service that prioritises inclusion, invests in training and CPD, and encourages its team to innovate, reflect and grow. Whether you’re already in an advisory or outreach role, a SENCO looking to share your knowledge, or you’re an experienced classroom practitioner ready to take the next step, we’d love to hear from you!
