Reeson Education is delighted to be partnering with an Outstanding, all-through Special Educational Needs (SEN) School in Kingston Upon Thames to recruit an experienced and dedicated SEN Teacher.
While this exceptional school caters to pupils from primary all the way through to post-16, the immediate focus for this exciting role is within Key Stage 3 (KS3). This is a fantastic opportunity to join a specialist setting known for its inspirational teaching, exceptional pupil outcomes, and commitment to staff development and wellbeing.
The Role: KS3 ASD Specialist
You will be responsible for leading a small, well-resourced class of pupils, primarily within Key Stage 3, who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and associated complex needs. You will be ably supported by a dedicated team of experienced Teaching Assistants (TAs).
This role requires a practitioner who is passionate about inclusive education and skilled in creating a structured, nurturing, and highly engaging environment that promotes both academic and personal development.
Key Responsibilities Include:
Tailored KS3 Curriculum Delivery: Plan, prepare, and deliver highly differentiated and personalised lessons that align with KS3 objectives while catering to the specific needs of pupils with ASD.
EHCP Leadership: Take the lead on setting, reviewing, and tracking ambitious targets within pupils’ Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
Team Collaboration: Effectively direct and collaborate with your class TAs, ensuring a consistent and supportive learning experience. Work closely with the SENCO and wider therapeutic team.
Pastoral Support: Implement positive behaviour support strategies and interventions to support pupils’ emotional regulation, social communication, and independence.
Documentation: Maintain comprehensive records of pupil progress and contribute constructively to annual review meetings.
What We Are Looking For:
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and proven teaching experience within a UK school setting.
Essential SEN Experience: Significant, recent experience teaching pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and complex needs. Experience within Key Stage 3 is highly desirable.
Behaviour Management: Exceptional communication, classroom management, and positive behaviour support skills.
Compliance: An enhanced DBS check registered on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one through Reeson Education).
There will be a permanent contract for the right candidate.
