Brightstone Education Partners is recruiting for SEN Class Teachers on behalf of a highly regarded specialist school in Maidenhead supporting children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

This is an exciting opportunity to join an all-age specialist setting that places individuality, respect, and meaningful progress at the centre of everything it does. The school has developed an outstanding reputation for providing personalised education, evidence-based practice, and exceptional support for pupils with autism. The school combines specialist teaching, therapeutic approaches, and a collaborative multidisciplinary team to help every learner achieve their full potential.
