The school is an inclusive co-educational provision for children with Autism aged between 5 and 16 years and is split across two sites. Each pupil receives an individually devised programme based on a pupil centred, multi professional approach to learning, aimed at increasing communication and independence.
This is a rare chance for a committed ABA specialist to join an 'Outstanding' provision and pair with a supportive CEO and SLT to grow and develop the offering which currently supports children from 17 Local Authorities.

- Data Collection and Analysis - Analyse behaviour data to make data-driven decisions, modify interventions, and achieve positive outcomes.
- Family and Carer Support - Collaborate with families and caregivers to educate them about behaviour analysis techniques and involve them in the intervention process. Offer support and guidance to families, empowering them to reinforce positive behaviours in natural settings.
- Documentation and Reporting - Maintain accurate and up-to-date client records, including assessment reports, progress notes, and intervention plans. Prepare detailed progress reports and communicate effectively with stakeholders, including families, therapists, and healthcare professionals.
- Professional Development - Stay current with the latest research, methodologies, and best practices in the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis. Pursue ongoing education and training to maintain BCBA certification and enhance skills.
