About Us: A Different Way to Teach
Are you tired of the mainstream one:size:fits:all pressure cooker? Do you believe that education should start with a relationship, not just a test score?
At Aurora Chaldon School, we do things differently. Opened in September 2025, our brand:new, purpose:built secondary school supports brilliant young people (aged 11:16) who navigate the world a little differently. Our students experience social communication challenges, sensory processing differences, and emotional regulation needs typically associated with Autism.
We dont expect our students to fit into a box. Instead, we wrap a world:class support system around them. With tiny class sizes, exceptional classroom support ratios, and an on:site, multidisciplinary therapy team, we give you the time, freedom, and resources to actually teach.
The Role: Why This Opportunity is Different
We are looking for a passionate Nurture Teacher to join our foundational team. In this role, you arent just ticking boxes; you are building a safe haven where students can rediscover the joy of learning.
What you will be doing:
*
Create Bespoke Learning Journeys: Use your creativity to adapt the National Curriculum into highly personalised, engaging lessons tailored to what your students love.
*
Teach the Whole Child: Focus heavily on emotional regulation, social skills, and sensory management alongside academics.
*
Collaborate with Experts: Work side:by:side daily with speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and behaviour specialists. You are never on your own.
*
De:escalate with Empathy: Work in a strictly non:confrontational, therapeutic way, viewing challenging behaviour simply as communication that needs to be understood.
*
Drive Student Growth: Manage and contribute to EHCPs, PEPs, and individual target reviews to celebrate every victory, no matter how small.
What We Are Looking For
The Essentials:
*
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) : Mandatory for the GBP5,000 welcome bonus.
*
A Heart for SEND: Proven experience working with young people with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and complex Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
*
Flexibility and Resilience: A positive, can:do attitude and the willingness to lend a hand across our Chaldon and Caterham sites as our community grows.
The Desirables:
*
Additional qualifications or specific professional development in SEND/Autism.
*
A background in curriculum development for alternative provisions or special schools.
