Description

Tradewind are working in partnership with a highly regarded specialist secondary setting in Hillingdon to recruit a dedicated and compassionate Teacher for a Key Stage 3 class.

This is a rewarding opportunity to join an outstanding provision supporting students aged 11-19 with a range of complex needs, including autism, severe learning difficulties, and additional communication and sensory needs.

About the Role

You will lead a small, highly supported KS3 class of 6 students with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD). The class is non-verbal, with students communicating through a range of alternative communication methods, including one student who uses a small number of key words.
