Newbridge School, the founding school of Astrum Multi-Academy Trust, is a three-times ‘Outstanding’ community special school, proudly supporting children and young people aged two to nineteen.

Across our trust, every pupil has complex learning needs and may also have:

• Medical needs
• Physical disabilities
• (Multi) Sensory Impairments (MSI)
• Autistic Spectrum conditions
• Challenging behaviours and sensory processing/integration needs

As Class Tutor, you will lead the teaching and learning for a group of pupils with complex needs, using a range of specialist strategies such as TEACCH, PECS, Sensory Integration, Attention Autism and Intensive Interaction. You’ll create a fun, stimulating and engaging learning environment through imaginative activities, while promoting independence and life skills for individuals and groups—including within our 14–19 provision, both on and off-site.

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a minimum Level 5 qualification in a relevant discipline
• Is an exceptional teacher with strong subject/curriculum knowledge
• Is fun, creative and enthusiastic, with the ability to think outside the box
• Has experience working with children and/or young people with complex needs
• Can support pupils with MSI and disabilities who may display behaviours of concern
• Has a solid understanding of child development
• Can deliver specialist strategies (TEACCH, PECS, Attention Autism, multi-sensory curriculum, Sensory Integration, Intensive Interaction, MSI environments)
• Is proactive and collaborative, working with stakeholders to design and deliver individualised programmes
• Brings energy, resilience and adaptability to meet pupils’ needs

We are committed to your professional development, offering a comprehensive induction and a wide range of CPD opportunities. We welcome applications from teachers seeking a supportive, nurturing environment to complete their NQT process.
