Are you a passionate Primary Teacher looking to specialise within Autism and SEND?

A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Sutton is seeking a dedicated SEND Teacher to join their well-established Autism Resource Provision (ARP), supporting KS1 and EYFS pupils with Autism and complex communication needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a nurturing specialist setting with small class sizes, excellent support staff, and a strong focus on communication, emotional wellbeing, and personalised learning.

The Role

You will lead a small specialist class supporting pupils with EHCPs whose primary need is Autism (Communication & Interaction). Many pupils are pre-verbal and have sensory regulation needs, so a calm, nurturing, and structured approach is essential.

You will:

• Plan and deliver highly personalised lessons

• Lead and manage a skilled class team

• Use total communication strategies throughout the day

• Support communication, emotional regulation, and engagement

• Work closely with therapists, SEND leaders, and families

We are looking for teachers who:

• Hold QTS

• Have experience supporting pupils with Autism/SEND

• Understand sensory and communication needs

• Are nurturing, patient, and reflective practitioners

• Are passionate about inclusive education

SEND/ARP experience is welcomed, but the school would also love to hear from strong primary teachers looking to transition into specialist Autism provision.

What the School Offers:

• Supportive and experienced SEND leadership

• Small classes with excellent TA support

• A well-established Autism Provision

• Long-term progression opportunities

• A warm and inclusive school community

The school is looking to interview and trial teachers ASAP.
