Do you thrive in an environment where creativity and compassion come together to nurture young people’s growth and independence? Are you passionate about making a real difference to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? If so, we want you to join us at Strood Academy’s Endeavour Centre, an innovative and supportive Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for students with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and a primary diagnosis of Autism.

The Endeavour Centre at Strood Academy is not just a learning space – it’s a community where students aged 11-19 are given the opportunity to thrive both academically and emotionally. With a commitment to providing a structured, predictable, and holistic learning environment, we focus on empowering students to access mainstream lessons while receiving the personalised support they need to flourish. Our centre works closely with parents, carers, and external professionals to ensure every student reaches their full potential. We believe in the power of inclusion, supporting our students as they integrate into mainstream classes and school life, all while ensuring that their individual needs are met.

As an SEN Teacher in The Endeavour Centre, you will deliver a personalised and inclusive curriculum to students with autism, working closely with mainstream staff to provide tailored academic and emotional support. You’ll collaborate with a skilled team to ensure students’ individual needs are met, both inside and outside the classroom.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and deliver personalised learning plans for students with autism.
Provide interventions in social skills, emotional wellbeing, and independent life skills.
Support transitions in and out of the Endeavour Centre.
Work closely with subject specialists and teaching assistants for optimal student outcomes.
Create a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive.
What We’re Looking For:
Qualified teacher status (QTS) or equivalent, with a specialism in SEN or autism, and experience working with students with autism.
A passion for inclusive education, with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a genuine desire to make a difference.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues, students, and external agencies.
Why Join Us?
A Unique Opportunity to work in a truly inclusive environment, blending specialist provision with mainstream education.
Supportive Team of dedicated staff committed to student success.
Professional Development opportunities to grow your career and make a lasting impact.
The Endeavour Centre is more than just a resource provision – it’s a place where we believe every student deserves the chance to realise their potential, and we’re looking for an SEN Teacher who shares this belief.

If you’re ready to join a vibrant and inclusive team at Strood Academy and help shape the future of young people, we would love to hear from you.
