  • Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and pupil welfare.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), with experience in special education or inclusive mainstream practice;
  • A deep understanding of autism and a commitment to inclusive education;
  • Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills;
  • Creativity, resilience, and a child-centred approach;
