Who we are:

The National Autistic Society is the UK’s leading charity for autistic people. Since 1962, we’ve been transforming lives, changing attitudes and helping to create a society that works for autistic adults and children.

We transform lives by providing support, guidance and practical advice for the 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, as well as their three million family members and carers. Autistic people turn to us at key moments or challenging times in their lives, be it getting a diagnosis, going to school or finding work.

We change attitudes by improving public understanding of autism and the difficulties many autistic people face. We also work closely with businesses, local authorities and government to help them provide more autism-friendly spaces, deliver better services and improve laws.

We have come a long way but it is not good enough. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for people on the spectrum. With your help, we can make it happen.

Who we are looking for:

A qualified Primary Teacher who would love a challenge?  Are you looking for a post that will be exciting, professionally demanding, stimulating and rewarding in (usually) equal measures? 

Are you a naturally resilient and a team player who can work collaboratively in a transdisciplinary setting? The successful candidate would be working with a highly experienced and specialist team comprising Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists and Positive Behaviour Specialists. 

If you have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for making a difference and can deliver engaging lessons across the curriculum we would love to hear from you.

Hours of work:
195 days inclusive of 5 non pupil training days. Normal hours may be varied to meet the changing needs of the school. There may be occasions when additional hours are necessary to meet specific or special requirements.

For more information, to arrange a visit or an informal chat please contact Amelia Branch, HR Adviser on 01474 814878 or via email at amelia.branch@nas.org.uk. Please note we do not accept CVs.
