A Rare Opportunity

Are you an experienced SEN practitioner ready to leave your mark on a brand:new provision?

In September 2025, we launched a state:of:the:art secondary school in Chaldon, specifically designed for students (ages 11:16) with social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory processing needs. We are seeking a high:calibre History and Geography Teacher who understands that for neurodivergent learners, the humanities are not just subjects:they are windows into understanding the world and their place within it.

As a founding member of our academic team, you wont just be following a scheme of work; you will be instrumental in adapting the National Curriculum to meet the complex profiles of our students.

• Autism:
  
  Led Pedagogy:
  Deliver high:quality learning tailored to students who require a non:confrontational, sensory:aware approach.
• Multi:
  
  Disciplinary
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work at the intersection of education and therapy, collaborating daily with our supernumerary clinical team to ensure every EHCP target is met.
• Curriculum Development:
  Lead the Humanities offering by creating short, medium, and long:term plans that balance academic challenge with emotional regulation.
• Mentorship and Growth:
  Contribute your expertise to a growing team as we expand across our Chaldon and Caterham sites.

We are seeking a specialist who moves beyond standard differentiation. You should possess:

• Proven SEN Expertise:
  Extensive experience working with students with Autism, PDA profiles, or complex SEMH needs.
• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS):
  Essential for the GBP5,000 welcome bonus.
• A Therapeutic Mindset:
  The ability to maintain pace and motivation in the classroom while remaining flexible to the fluctuating sensory needs of your students.
• Founding Spirit:
  The resilience and can:do attitude required to launch a new school and establish a positive, inclusive culture from day one.

We offer more than just a competitive salary. This is a chance to move away from the constraints of large:scale mainstream settings and join a model defined by small classes, high staff:to:student ratios, and clinical support.

We give students every opportunity to achieve. We need teachers who believe that no ceiling should be placed on a childs potential.
