The Role
Are you an SEN Teacher with a passion for supporting pupils with Autism (ASD) and moderate to severe learning difficulties?
Do you want to work in an 'Outstanding' specialist setting where every small step of progress is recognised, supported, and celebrated?
If you're looking for a deeply rewarding role starting September 2026, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate SEN Teacher to join a specialist school in Islington, supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and a range of learning difficulties.
You will deliver highly structured, personalised learning tailored to each child's communication style, sensory needs, and developmental stage-helping them build independence, confidence, and essential life skills.
Why This School?

- Access to excellent resources, including sensory spaces and communication tools (e.g. PECS, visual timetables)
- Work alongside a highly trained team of TAs, therapists, and SEN specialists
- A culture where progress is individualised and meaningful, not just academic
