SEN Teacher – Key Stage 2 ASD Resource Base
Are you an experienced SEN Teacher passionate about making a meaningful difference to pupils with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)? Pertemps Education Network is working in partnership with a primary school seeking a skilled, resilient and enthusiastic SEN Teacher to lead a Key Stage 2 class within its dedicated ASD Resource Base.
This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher with a strong understanding of autism, structured teaching and differentiated curriculum planning to join a dedicated team supporting pupils with a range of social-communication and learning needs.
The class consists of 10 boys in Years 5 and 6, each with their own individual strengths, needs and learning profiles. You will play a key role in adapting the mainstream primary curriculum to ensure learning is accessible, engaging and meaningful, while developing pupils' independence, confidence and social-emotional skills.
This is a long-term opportunity, with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate.
As the SEN Teacher, you will take responsibility for leading the class and creating a structured, nurturing and inclusive learning environment tailored to pupils with autism.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and delivering differentiated lessons based on the KS2 national curriculum, adapting content to meet pupils' individual learning needs.
- Implementing structured teaching approaches, particularly the TEACCH framework, to promote engagement, predictability and independence.
- Establishing clear routines, visual supports and low-arousal learning environments to help pupils feel safe and ready to learn.
- Using positive behaviour support and proactive de-escalation strategies to manage challenging situations effectively.
- Supporting pupils' communication, emotional regulation and social development.
- Facilitating positive peer relationships and helping pupils navigate social interactions and resolve conflicts.
- Monitoring progress and adapting teaching approaches to support individual targets and outcomes.
- Working collaboratively with teaching assistants, the SENCO, parents and other professionals to ensure consistent, high-quality support.
Essential requirements:
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
- Experience teaching pupils with ASC within an ASD Resource Base, Autism Resource Provision (ARP) or special school setting.
- Strong knowledge of the primary curriculum and experience differentiating lessons for pupils with complex learning and communication needs.
- Practical experience using the TEACCH framework and structured teaching methodologies.
- Excellent behaviour management skills, with a relational approach to de-escalation and conflict resolution.
- The resilience, patience and adaptability required to lead a class with diverse needs.
- A commitment to promoting pupils' independence, inclusion and emotional wellbeing.
- A dedicated ASD Resource Base within a primary school setting.
- The opportunity to lead a KS2 class and make a tangible difference to pupils' lives.
- A long-term placement with the possibility of a permanent position.
- The opportunity to work alongside a team committed to improving outcomes for autistic pupils.
- The chance to develop your specialist SEN teaching experience and contribute to pupils' academic and personal development.
