What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, ambitious, skilled individual to join our very strong leadership team. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work with autonomy to deliver ambitious outcomes. You will be an accomplished teacher and skilled leader, passionate about the achievement of all students. You will work with a dedicated team and have access to a wide range of excellent development opportunities through the teaching school, the Trust’s research school and through the links we make with the 32 schools in the Trust. We would encourage and support you to take the NPQH.
Responsibilities will be wide-ranging, reflecting your skillset and interests, but will include the strategic leadership and management of the SEND department and being the school’s named SENDCO. Experience as a SENDCO is not necessarily essential. A substantial package of training and support will be offered to the successful candidate, including the support of an excellent and experienced Assistant SENDCO who will undertake the majority of the practical SENDCO work on a day to day basis. SEND will make up a proportion of this role – other responsibilities will be agreed following appointment and depending on the experience, skills and interests of the successful candidate and will be designed to offer preparation for an aspiring deputy headteacher.
