Are you a resilient and creative educator ready to make a lasting impact?
We are looking for a Qualified Teacher (QTS) with a heart for special education to join a dedicated team in Grays. This is a chance to work in a community-focused setting where your expertise will directly improve the quality of life for pupils with additional needs.
In this role, you will be teaching pupils with a variety of needs, including Autism (ASD), Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), and Global Development Delay. Our schools in Grays pride themselves on providing a safe, "can-do" environment where the curriculum is tailored to the child, rather than the child to the curriculum.

- Specialised Delivery: Deliver lessons that prioritise functional communication, sensory engagement, and life skills.
- Support Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of 3-4 Learning Support Assistants, ensuring every student receives the 1:1 attention they require.
- EHCP Implementation: Take ownership of Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) targets, ensuring every lesson contributes toward a student's long-term goals.
- Safe Environment: Maintain a calm and regulated classroom using positive behaviour strategies and de-escalation techniques.
Requirements
- Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential.
- Experience with specialised communication tools such as PECS, Makaton, or SCERTS.
- A proven ability to differentiate work for a wide range of ability levels (including pre-verbal learners).
- A commitment to working in the Grays/Thurrock area and engaging with local families.
In Grays, we define teaching as the art of finding the key to unlock every child's potential. If you are a teacher who celebrates the small wins and has the resilience to stay the course, we want you in our classrooms. Join us and help provide the stability and inspiration that allows our students to thrive.
