New Directions is working closely with a SEND school in Shirley. This all-age (4 to 19 year) specialises in educating children and young people with a lead diagnosis of Autism as well as other additional needs such as non-verbal communication, behaviour that challenges and sensory challenges.
The school is looking for qualified teachers (with QTS) to work on a casual but regular basis across, working 2-5 days per week covering planned and unplanned teacher absence across the primary and secondary departments.

Working as a team with the TAs in the classroom
Ensuring the implementation of Individual Education Plans (IEPs), EHCP outcomes, and personalised learning programmes
Support pupils to engage with learning activities using structured approaches (e.g. visual supports, clear routines)
Support staff to work to their full potential

Highly adaptable to the needs of the learners and staff
