This is a unique and exciting opportunity for Two qualified teachers to join Inspire SouthWest, one of the top Community Interest Companies in Devon. We are seeking an enthusiastic, imaginative, inventive, compassionate and conscientious teacher to join our dynamic team in supporting two autistic Students as part of our EOTAS provision.

Based in beautiful North Devon, we work with Children’s Services, parents and schools to provide a broad yet individualised education for unique and wonderful children & young people who find themselves unable to access schools for a variety of reasons including autism and anxiety. We require a teacher of exceptional curiosity and care to support our Education Otherwise Than at School (EOTAS) delivery of the curriculum across all school subject areas.

A high level of competence in Information Technology, Gaming and the ability to use post-2008 children’s films to educate is essential in order to develop and deliver a curriculum that builds on the children’s strengths, is highly personalised and engages through interesting and rewarding learning. ISW employs a therapeutic approach where children can engage in enriching activities outside of traditional lessons.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced or an early career teacher to work alongside parents, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, agriculture, horticulture and forest school professionals both on and off-site.

You will have an induction programme with opportunities to observe sessions and learn from them.

This is a rare opportunity for a teacher to gain a wealth of experience in education outside a traditional setting. This post is well suited for those passionate about child-centred learning.
