This would be a great opportunity for a primary teacher who is looking to work with a alternative provision setting with huge potential for continuous professional development. This autism unit has been built to support the special educational needs of the attached mainstream school.

Their aim is support other schools in the area offering training, support and educational health care plan application advice. Due to this the unit already has a high number of staff meaning a high staff to pupil ratio. Due to this staff is sometimes shared with the mainstream school to support short term absence. Currently there is a large state of the art sensory room as well as brand new IT suit with a large number of tablets and interactive tables available for use. The school is located close to public transport and is set back off the main road. There is limited car parking space however this is something they are hoping to address over the next few months.
