The school is looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic member of staff who can either already use these methods of communication, or is willing to learn.

  • A child workforce DBS registered on the update service, or be willing to complete a new one asap
  • References from your previous employers
  • Previous experience of supporting children or adults who have autism
  • Willingness to provide personal care for students who need assistance with toileting/changing
  • Can use or willing to learn PECs, Makaton and/or BSL
  • Education to at least A Levels, or an equivalent level 3 qualification

Teaching Personnel can offer a competitive pay rate and a pay as you earn pay scheme - this means we pay a national insurance and pension contribution for you. We will also support you in applying for a regular or even permanent position at this school, if this is what you are looking for. The school offers a full induction programme for new, regular staff members.

Other benefits include finishing at 15:30pm each day and only working during term time, so you will get all the school holidays off.
