December 2026 UK applicants only – no sponsorship available About the Role Are you a passionate and creative teacher who wants to spend more time inspiring young people and less time on administration? At Hillingdon Grange School, we're looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated and imaginative Teacher to join our specialist education team and help students with autism and additional needs discover their strengths, build confidence and achieve their potential.

This is an opportunity to teach differently. Forget the idea that every student must learn in the same way. Here, you'll have the opportunity to bring creativity into the classroom, adapt your teaching to individual needs and develop meaningful learning experiences that help students overcome barriers and celebrate their achievements. Whether you're helping a student master a new skill, develop independence or achieve something they once thought impossible, you'll be part of the moments that make teaching truly rewarding.

Working alongside a collaborative team, you'll create a safe, nurturing and engaging learning environment where students feel understood, respected and encouraged to succeed. If you're an experienced teacher with a passion for SEN education and want to make a real difference through personalised teaching, we'd love to hear from you. What You'll Be Doing Bring learning to life by planning and delivering creative, engaging lessons tailored to students with autism and complex learning needs.

Build confidence and independence, helping students develop academic, communication, social and emotional skills. Create a classroom where everyone belongs, promoting a safe, structured and nurturing environment where students feel valued and ready to learn. Celebrate individual progress, recognising achievements, monitoring development and adapting teaching to help students reach their potential.

Work collaboratively with colleagues, sharing ideas and developing innovative approaches that improve learning experiences and outcomes. Promote safeguarding and professional excellence, contributing to a positive school culture and continuing to develop your own specialist teaching practice.
