Stifford Clays Primary School is looking to recruit a talented individual to help establish and shape our Autistic Spectrum Disorder Resource Base funded directly by the Local Authority to eventually accommodate ten children. The successful candidate will have a passion for working with young children and for assisting them to overcome personal or behavioral issues that are often barriers to achieving their full potential. Applicants with experience of working with pupils who have ASD are desirable, but support will be given by the ASD Base Manager and on-the-job training will be provided. As a member of staff, you will be valued and supported; in return, we are looking for commitment, drive, and enthusiasm.
Why Stifford Clays Primary School?
We are a community-focused school for 2 to 11 year olds, located centrally in the Stifford Clays ward of Thurrock. The original infant and junior schools were built in 1954 and have grown to accommodate 90 children in each year group. We have a resource base provision for children with autism.
