SEMH and Autism Teacher
Qualified Teacher Needed
London Borough of Merton
Immediate Start Available
£150 - £250 per day PAYE
Based in the London Borough of Merton, this incredible college for students, aged 14-16 years old on the Autism Spectrum, are seeking a qualified teacher to join their team. This newly-refurbished building was designed with the needs of children with Autism in mind, ensuring there are large open classrooms and therapy spaces for students in KS2, KS3 and KS4. There is also a calm, landscaped outdoor area with an all weather pitch as well as specialist facilities for IT, food technology and science experiments.
Working in small classes of maximum 10 pupils, you will be supporting by 2 teaching assistants to mainly cover the Science curriculum. Whilst experience teaching Science is preferable, there will be a lot of support with the curriculum so this is not necessary. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about working with children and making a positive impact on their lives. Anyone who is seeking to develop their experience within a specialist setting is encouraged to apply, as well as experienced teachers looking for a change.
