Specialist Resource Teacher
Specialist Resource Teacher: Autism and Neurodevelopmental Difficulties
Required from April 2025 (or sooner if possible)
This is a full-time permanent position
Salary: Main/Upper Teaching Scale + ALN Allowance
Closing Date: Monday January 6th 2025
At Aberconwy we are developing additional learning provision for secondary age pupils with autism and associated neurodevelopmental difficulties. We opened two resourced classes of 8 pupils in September 2020, and expanded to include two further classes for September 2022. This specialist provision is for learners with autism who do not have a learning disability, but who are experiencing significant difficulty accessing the mainstream curriculum in its entirety. Conwy Local Authority hopes that this will be the first step in developing high quality, specialist provision across all key stages of education, with a clear remit for inclusion into mainstream education wherever possible and enabling pupils to have access to a full and varied curriculum. The provision helps support learners to develop the skills and confidence for transition out of school and on to further education opportunities in line with their aspirations and interests.
We are therefore looking to appoint an experienced, enthusiastic and committed teacher to fill this post. Applicants should have extensive experience and knowledge of working with secondary age pupils with autism and associated neurodevelopmental difficulties, ideally in a mainstream school setting.
