Prospero’s client school is offering a unique opportunity to lead a small, specialist provision supporting pupils with Autism in a calm, nurturing environment.


This is more than a teaching role - it’s a chance to shape a bespoke learning space where every pupil is truly seen, supported and celebrated.


About the Provision
This newly developed provision is designed for up to six pupils who benefit from a quieter, lower-stimulation setting. With a broad range of abilities and interests, pupils receive tailored support through:
*One-to-one sessions in dedicated classrooms
*Small group tutor time and shared learning
*Weekly enrichment activities that build confidence and curiosity
*A strong focus on emotional wellbeing, supported by Thrive principles


Pupils also access lessons on the main school site, creating a balanced and flexible learning experience.


Your Role
As Lead Teacher, you’ll be the driving force behind this provision. You will:
*Design and deliver bespoke learning plans
*Lead and mentor a team of committed Learning Support Assistants
*Oversee assessment, progress tracking and IEPs
*Liaise closely with families and external professionals
*Champion emotional wellbeing and inclusive practice
*Collaborate with the SENDCo and wider school team
*Shape the timetable and learning journey to suit each pupil’s needs


You may also teach across the wider school depending on your interests and experience.


The Details
Location: New Forest
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Long-term or permanent
Salary: MPS


What You’ll Need
*Right to work in the UK
*Enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply)
*Recent safeguarding training (or willingness to complete)
*References covering the last 24 months


Who We’re Looking For
We welcome applications from teachers across primary and secondary backgrounds, with or without prior SEN experience. What matters most is your:
*Passion for inclusive education
*Commitment to personalised learning
*Ability to lead with empathy, creativity and purpose


If you’re ready to lead a provision where every pupil’s potential is nurtured and every day brings meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.
