Do You Have the Heart to Empower Others?
Location: Cranleigh, Surrey
Salary: £23,000 PA Pro rata (£26458 FTE)
Some things can't be taught-like patience, empathy, and the ability to stay calm when things get tough. If you are a naturally supportive person, we will teach you the rest.
* Your Mission: Work 1:1 with children on the autism spectrum, helping them navigate the world and find their unique "voice."
* A Supportive Family: You'll join a team where peer support is the standard, not the exception.
* The Reward: Witnessing the moment a student masters a skill they've struggled with for years.
The Role
As a Trainee Teacher, you won't be thrown into the deep end alone. You will work 1:1 or in small groups with students, learning to implement bespoke educational and behavioural programs.
* Learn as You Earn: Gain hands-on experience in Special Educational Needs (SEN) while receiving comprehensive internal training.
* Behavioural Expertise: Master the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to support communication and life skills.
* Collaborative Growth: Work alongside Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists to provide holistic support.
What We're Looking For
* Passion over Experience: You don't need a teaching degree yet. We value personality, patience, and a genuine desire to support young people with complex needs.
* Resilience: The ability to remain calm and positive in challenging situations.
* Communication: Strong verbal and written skills for reporting on student progress.
* Education: A degree is preferred (ideally in Psychology or Education), but we welcome candidates with strong A-Levels and a heart for social care.
Why Join Us?
"The best part of this job is seeing a student master a skill they've struggled with for years. You aren't just teaching a curriculum; you're providing a voice."
* Career Progression: Clear pathways towards Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst (BCaBA) roles.
* Supportive Environment: High staff-to-pupil ratios and a culture of peer support.
* Location: Based in the beautiful Surrey countryside with onsite parking.
