Addington Valley Academy are seeking to recruit a Class Teacher with Qualified Teacher status, or willingness to achieve this, to be responsible for the education and welfare of a designated class or groups of pupils with complex needs on the Autistic Spectrum. You will be a passionate and committed advocate for SEND children and comfortable teaching across the key stages.
