WHERE AND WHEN DO WE NEED YOU?

Fair Ways are looking for an unqualified teacher specialising in Independent Living Skills, to work as part of our fantastic teaching team at our specialist Autism School located at our new Eastleigh campus. We strongly believe in creating a person-centred programme to meet each child’s needs adapting a unique ‘autistic curriculum’. This not only captures the pupil’s learning needs but also addresses social, emotional and communication needs of children and young people with autism, and nurtures their independence and well-being. Students are placed with Fair Ways when most other mainstream or specialist schools have been unsuccessful.
