Job Description

The CEO of SECAT is seeking to appoint a Specialist Teacher for our new Autism Resource Base (ARB) at Thorpedene Primary School and Nursery.

This position is for a September 2025 or January 2026 start.

This role is central to delivering the highest quality provision for some of our students who join the ARB. The post requires an experienced teacher to support and teach the students a personalised curriculum. This will involve assisting these students to access mainstream education and develop personal and social skills. The postholder will help to set a climate for learning and create an ethos in which every child matters and is supported to reach their full potential.

The postholder will receive a SEN1 Allowance.
