This specialist school has been purpose-built to meet the needs of children with Autism and related communication difficulties. The setting features modern sensory and therapeutic spaces and sits in a spacious, green location within easy reach of the Elizabeth Line.

You'll be joining a small but growing multidisciplinary therapy team, working closely with an in-house Speech and Language Therapist and Occupational Therapist.



What We're Looking For

  • Practical experience supporting children with Autism, ideally within a specialist school or clinical environment
  • Familiarity with implementing therapy programmes designed by qualified Speech and Language Therapists

Why This Role?

  • Be part of a founding team shaping a new, ambitious SEN school from the ground up
  • Join a values-driven, research-informed, and compassionate working environment
  • Work in a beautiful, purpose-built setting designed for children to thrive
