Job introduction

The Hive Centre is the third site of Hill Park School. It is a provision for Secondary aged autistic students who have high anxiety, which prevents them accessing onsite provisions such as mainstream secondary schools or facilities co-located at mainstream secondary schools.

Many will have been home educated or accessed tutoring packages and need bespoke transition to a full time onsite model. Students at The Hive will be able to access an age related curriculum and achieve GCSE’s and other Secondary accreditations. 

Paid weeks per year: 52 (inclusive of holiday entitlement)

Start date: As soon as possible
