1-1 Autism specialist TA

SEN Teacher – 1:1 Support (Autism)
Secondary School | Full Time | Long Term

This isn’t your typical classroom role. It’s something more focused, more personal, and genuinely impactful.

We’re looking for a dedicated SEN Teacher to support a secondary-aged pupil with autism on a 1:1 basis, Monday to Friday, in a supportive and well-structured school environment. This is a long-term opportunity, giving you the chance to build real trust, consistency, and progress over time.

What makes this role special?
You’ll have the time and space to truly understand one pupil, their needs, their strengths, and what helps them thrive. No juggling 30 learners at once, just meaningful, tailored support that makes a lasting difference.
