Teaching and Learning Practitioner

We are looking for experienced and trainee practitioners who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of autistic children and young people. If you share our mission to ensure autistic learners access the education and support they need to belong, succeed and lead lives full of opportunity, choice and independence, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Purpose

As a Teaching and Learning Practitioner, you’ll be part of a class team supporting around eight pupils. Working one-to-one and in small groups, you will help deliver personalised learning that supports communication, independence and participation. You will work alongside teachers, behaviour analysts, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists, helping pupils build skills and make progress at their own pace. Our approach starts with understanding behaviour as communication and responding to each learner’s individual strengths and needs.

This is an opportunity to work with exceptional pupils at our specialist settings in Wandsworth: Park House School, Tram House School and Tram House Sixth Form. Across our schools, learners benefit from personalised education delivered by transdisciplinary class teams, preparing them for greater independence, communication, learning and adulthood.

BeyondAutism is a place where you can learn, develop and build a rewarding career alongside colleagues who share your commitment to autistic learners. We offer a wide range of employee benefits, including an extensive in-house training programme and continuing professional development opportunities. Many colleagues have progressed into roles including Qualified Teachers, Behaviour Analysts and Therapists, and we support further professional qualifications through a range of training, certificate, diploma and postgraduate pathways.

You will need

• A passion for supporting autistic children and young people.
• A-Level qualifications or a recognised childcare qualification.
• A willingness to learn and develop professionally.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• The resilience, enthusiasm and commitment needed to work in a specialist education environment.

We welcome applications from people who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.

BeyondAutism is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check.
