Are you passionate about supporting those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities? Do you want to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people? Perhaps you have experience of working with those with SEN in another capacity and are looking for the next step in your career?
Team Educate is hiring passionate and committed Trainee Specialist Autism Tutors for one of our partner schools in the Shirley area.In this role, direct experience is not necessary but applicants must be able to demonstrate a genuine desire to work in the field, along with a commitment to learning and progression. The successful candidate will receive a full bespoke in-house training package delivered by a range of innovative practitioners and SEN professionals where you will gain the necessary skills (such as Applied Behavioural Analysis, De-escalation Strategies, Makaton and the Picture Exchange Communication System) and experience to provide outstanding support to pupils with Autistic Spectrum Condition. You will undertake a two week theoretical induction, followed by a supported hands-on training approach within the classroom.
The successful applicant will also benefit from working in a non-traditional education environment with unrivalled facilities in a grand and historic setting, using pioneering educational methods to promote positive outcomes for their students. The school champions a pupil lead approach to education where they teach to interest and you will have the opportunity to develop creative and practical curriculums for those you support. On a daily basis, you will apply your training to support pupils on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis and, by the end of your training, you will be considered a Specialist SEN Tutor. Please note that this route does not lead to QTS, but rather provides an intensive and thorough route into SEN provision.
This is a Monday-Friday role, with working hours between either 08:00 - 16:00 or 08:30 - 16:30. Please also note that, due to location, it would be preferable that you had a full driving license and access to your own car.
