Are you a Psychology graduate, an experienced EYFS practitioner, or a Support Worker looking for a definitive, fully funded route into teaching?

Skip the university debt. This pioneering SEN school in Cranleigh is offering a structured 2-year earn-while-you-learn programme that takes you from a 1:1 assistant to a fully qualified Lead Teacher with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status).

This isn't a mainstream environment. The school specialises in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)-a deeply rewarding, data-driven, and positive approach to teaching children with autism.

• Strict No-Restraint Policy:
  The school relies entirely on positive reinforcement. Physical restraint is never used.
• The Traffic Light System:
  Every corridor and room features a visual safety system.
• Small Class Sizes:
  Max sizes of 6-8 students per class, where every child has dedicated 1:1 support.
• Ability-Based Learning:
  Classes are grouped by academic and developmental ability, not by chronological age.
• World-Class Facilities:
  Enjoy access to individual classroom sensory rooms, trampolines, and a dedicated yoga studio.

To pass the initial screening, you must meet the following criteria:

• Experience:
  
  Minimum 6 months of experience in UK education, Early Years (EYFS), or children's residential care homes.
• Education:
  
  GCSE Grade C/4 (or equivalent) in English and Maths. A degree or background in Psychology is highly desirable.
• Right to Work:
  Valid UK Right to Work with no visa expiration's within the next 12 months (sponsorship is not available for this intake).
