Following opening in September 2017 The Wherry School are delighted to offer this unique and exciting opportunity to inspire young people with autism. We are looking for teachers with the passion to deliver a truly individualised curriculum and subject specialist delivery at KS4. You will be joining our school staff in a purpose built and resourced specialist setting for children with a diagnosis of autism and who possess a mainstream ability profile.

The Wherry School opened in September 2017 with 48 learners, initially in Years 1 to 8, and has now grown to 130 students currently from Year 3 to 13. We continue to develop our delivery of the Key Stage 4 curriculum which includes a traditional GCSE offer as well as appropriate alternative qualifications. The school has been established to meet a clear educational need in the area and is supported by a Trust and educational partners, all of whom are successfully providing outstanding education and/or support to children and young people in Norfolk.

Successful candidates will be qualified teachers and required to deliver ICT/Computing their subject specialism across classes in the Secondary School (approximately 6-8 children per class and 1-2 Teaching Assistants) and to personalise the learning for the children they teach and direct support staff to ensure that individual needs are met. The ability, flexibility and confidence to deliver additional subjects across the secondary curriculum is essential. Candidates need to be able to offer a secondary subject alongside their specialism.

Already a teacher, or a newly or recently qualified teacher with relevant experience of working with children and young people with autism, you have a strong track record and knowledge of Key Stage 3 and 4 Curriculum. You will demonstrate excellent knowledge of working with pupils with Special Educational Needs and possess outstanding classroom management skills which reflect the specific needs of this group of learners along with highly developed interpersonal skills. What will set you apart will be your relentless commitment to achieving high standards of teaching and learning, your passion for improving outcomes for young people with Autism and the highest aspirations for all learners you work with.
