Primary SEN Teacher - Autism - September Start
Hounslow, West London
Full-time, term time only, £200 - £255 PAYE per day, in line with M1 to M6 Outer London
Do you know what it costs a child to keep trying when the curriculum was not designed with them in mind? Do you know what it looks like when a pupil finally finds a way in, not because the task got easier, but because someone took the time to find out how that particular child learns? And do you find yourself looking for a setting that provides the structure, team, and resources to actually do that work properly?
If you answered yes, a specialist school in West London would be very pleased to meet you.
The School
This is a specialist school in West London that supports primary-aged pupils with Autism, Moderate Learning Difficulties, and Severe Learning Difficulties. Every pupil holds an EHCP. Classes are small. Adult-to-pupil ratios are high. The environment is purposefully designed to meet the needs of pupils who require a significantly different approach to learning, not adaptations made at the edges of a mainstream model.
Leadership here is visible and knows the work. Staff are trusted and genuinely listened to. The culture is collaborative and creative, and resources reflect that. Planning is supported rather than left to individuals to figure out on their own. For a Teacher who has been doing good work in a setting that did not quite provide the conditions for doing it well, this is a meaningful change.
The Role
You will teach a class in which pupils are at very different developmental stages. Your planning will be genuinely differentiated, built around each child's communication style and developmental level rather than a shared year group target. You will work alongside Teaching Assistants who know each pupil well, and you will use strategies suited to verbal and non-verbal pupils alike.
You will hold QTS and bring real classroom experience of Autism. Experience with MLD or SLD is also important. Confidence supporting non-verbal pupils matters as much as anything else here.
This is a long-term to permanent role, full-time and term-time only, starting September 2026. The school is commutable from Hounslow, Feltham, Twickenham, Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford and Richmond.
Working with Parker Smith Inclusion means working with a consultant who understands the difference between an Autism placement, an MLD placement, and an SLD placement. Pay is PAYE only, paid weekly, with full transparency from the start. You will be kept informed at every stage and matched to settings where your experience fits.
