Be the Person Who Makes a Difference

For some young people, school can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even unsafe. They may struggle to connect, communicate, or engage. With the right support, every pupil can feel understood, confident, and ready to thrive. That’s where you come in.

A School Where Every Interaction Matters

This fantastic secondary school in Barking and Dagenham specialises in supporting young people with ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition). Learning here is personalised, structured, and strength-focused, giving every pupil the chance to succeed.

With small class sizes, you’ll work closely with experienced teachers and therapists to help pupils build confidence, develop independence, and re-engage with learning—sometimes for the very first time.

What You’ll Get:

  • A calm, structured environment that supports success for pupils and staff

  • Opportunities to collaborate with therapists, SENCOs, and the leadership team

  • The chance to make meaningful, day-to-day progress with pupils, from lessons to life skills

  • A supportive, collaborative team who value your ideas and input

Who You Are

You may already have experience supporting children or young people with ASC or other SEND, or come from a care, pastoral, or youth work background. Above all, you are patient, resilient, compassionate, and committed to helping pupils feel safe and valued.

If you’re curious, enthusiastic, and ready to learn, the school will provide the training, mentoring, and support you need to make an immediate impact.

Your Impact Will Last a Lifetime

This isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to change lives. From helping a pupil communicate their first words to supporting them in managing their emotions, every day is rewarding and meaningful.
