New Bridge Learning Centre

January 2027 (or when notice period allows)

New Bridge Multi-Academy Trust is a vibrant, aspirational and inclusive trust of eight special schools and two specialist post-16 provisions across Oldham, Tameside and Rochdale. As part of the wider New Bridge Group, we also provide post-19 education.

We support learners aged 4-19+ across a wide spectrum of need and are proud to be recognised nationally for excellence in special education. Our culture is rooted in high expectations, innovation, and creating meaningful futures for every learner and member of staff.

New Bridge Learning Centre caters for students aged 16 – 19 with a wide range of SEND. The Learning Centre, Entitlement Base is a highly specialist provision for autistic students with complex and individual developmental profiles.

We are seeking a skilled, reflective practitioner to help shape and strengthen this provision and to make a difference to some amazing young people.

This is an opportunity to join a team committed to deepening autism-informed practice — building on strong foundations and refining approaches through shared expertise, clarity and a sophisticated understanding of how autistic children experience the world.

This is a highly specialist role within education.

You will be working with students whose learning, communication, sensory processing and regulation needs are deeply interconnected and highly individual. Trust, predictability and skilled adult understanding are essential.

This work is complex. Progress may be subtle. Communication may be emerging or non-linear.
Regulation needs may shift quickly and unexpectedly. And yet…

The relationships you build.
The trust you earn.
The moments of genuine connection and breakthrough.

These are the experiences that stay with you.

This is what makes the role exceptional.

At the heart of everything we do is unconditional positive regard — the belief that every child deserves consistency, dignity, safety, and an adult who stays with them, even on the hardest days.

We are developing a provision that is:

• Grounded in specialist understanding of autism and early developmental learning
• Informed by structured teaching approaches including Attention Autism, TEACCH principles and co-regulation strategies
• Built on consistency, predictability and highly attuned adult responses
• Shaped by sensory-informed practice that supports regulation and access to learning
• Driven by shared professional expertise to ensure teaching is intentional, consistent and highly effective

This is about refining practice through reflection, collaboration and specialist knowledge — ensuring every interaction is purposeful, responsive and developmentally meaningful.

This role offers the opportunity to work at a genuinely specialist level within a provision that is actively evolving through deeper understanding and refined practice.

This is not routine teaching.

It is skilled, reflective and highly responsive practice — where decisions are made in the moment, guided by expertise and understanding.

You will have the opportunity to:

• shape and refine a specialist provision at a key stage in its development
• embed high-quality autism-informed approaches, including structured teaching and Attention Autism
• support colleagues to deepen understanding of development, sensory need and behaviour
• contribute to a…
