About the Role

We're looking for a passionate SEN Primary Teacher to join the founding team at Tilewood School, a brand-new specialist school designed to transform the lives of children with additional needs.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a school culture from day one, creating an environment where every child feels they belong, can thrive, and is supported to aspire to more than they ever thought possible.

At Tilewood School, we believe every child deserves an education that celebrates their strengths, nurtures their wellbeing and unlocks their potential. You'll work with students who need a creative, patient and nurturing approach, helping them build confidence, develop vital life skills and achieve meaningful progress both academically and personally.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely change lives, be part of an ambitious and supportive team, and help build something special, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Deliver engaging, personalised learning that meets the individual needs of each student.
• Create a safe, nurturing and stimulating classroom where students feel valued and supported.
• Support students' academic, emotional and social development.
• Work closely with Learning Support Assistants, therapists and families to achieve the best outcomes.
• Monitor progress, celebrate successes and adapt learning to help every student thrive.
• Contribute to the development and growth of our new specialist school community.

About You

• A qualified teacher with QTS (or equivalent).
• Passionate about supporting children with SEND, Autism, SEMH or complex needs.
• Committed to creating inclusive, engaging and personalised learning experiences.
• Skilled at building positive relationships with students, families and colleagues.
• Resilient, adaptable and motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting difference.
• Excited to play a key role in establishing a brand-new specialist school.

About us

Tilewood School is an exciting new specialist provision within the Options Autism family, provisionally opening in April 2027. Located at the historic Tile House in rural Buckinghamshire, the school will provide education for up to 66 students aged 5 to 16 with autism and associated needs.

What makes Tilewood truly special is its environment. Set within extensive natural grounds, the school benefits from woodland, open green spaces, outdoor learning areas, a sports dome, all-weather sports facilities and dedicated life skills environments. We view our grounds as an extension of the classroom, offering meaningful opportunities for outdoor learning, exploration, sensory regulation, independence and personal growth throughout the year. Planned developments include sensory, horticultural and independence gardens that will further enrich the learning experience for our students.

For many autistic children, space, nature, quiet and the opportunity to learn beyond four walls are not simply desirable, they are essential. At Tilewood, we have created an environment where these elements are woven into daily life, supporting children to belong, thrive and aspire.

At Outcomes First Schools, we provide specialist education for learners who need a deeper level of understanding, expertise and support than mainstream education can typically offer. We support students with a wide range of complex, co-occurring and neurodivergent needs, including autism, ADHD, SEMH, speech and communication needs, dyslexia and experiences of trauma or adversity.

We are proud to be a part of OFG Education who in 2025 were officially certified as a 'Great Place to Work' for the sixth year running.
