ASD Primary Teacher, Rotherham

New Today

Job Title: ASD Specialist Teacher (Primary SEMH Setting) Location: Rotherham Contract: Temporary, Term-Time Only (Monday-Friday) Start Date: Immediate Unlock Potential. Join Academics as an ASD Lead Teacher. Do you speak the language of patterns, predictability, and passion-led learning? Academics is searching for an understanding and analytical Primary Teacher to join a specialist hub in Rotherham, supporting children on the Autism spectrum who face additional social and emotional barriers. Your Mission: * Decode Behaviour as Communication: Move past standard behaviour management. You will interpret triggers, design sensory-friendly resources, and implement individualised structures that reduce anxiety and prevent overwhelm. * Create Order from Chaos: For autistic pupils struggling with trauma or emotional dysregulation, routine is medicine. You will establish a highly visual, low-demand environment where students feel safe enough to unmask and engaged enough to grow. The Ideal Candidate: * Holds QTS with demonstrable experience or a deep fascination for ASD strategies (e.g., TEACCH, PECS, or Zones of Regulation). * Possesses a logical, calm mindset; you notice the subtle shifts in mood or sensory input that others miss. * Finds professional joy in scripting, special interests, and the "quiet breakthroughs" that happen when a child finally trusts you. Non-Negotiables: * An active Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or immediate willingness to process one). * Verifiable references confirming your expertise with neurodiverse, vulnerable learners. The Rewards: * Structured Hours: Term-time only consistency to prevent your own burnout. * Specialist Rates: Competitive pay that honours your niche skillset. * Deep Fulfilment: Work within a Sheffield provision that actually understands masking, meltdowns, and monotropism-where your adaptations are celebrated, not questioned.
