What skills and experience we're looking for
-
The 4 Day Week Campaign believes it would “dramatically improve the lives of teachers”. We are always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance at The Westleigh School and we are excited to have been asked to be part of a trial of the 4-Day teaching week for staff whilst continuing to receive full-time pay, from September 2023.
As a school we are passionate about inclusion and we are looking for someone who shares the same drive and commitment. We are looking to appoint a highly effective and motivated Assistant SENCO, who will work effectively as part of our supportive team and who will make an impact on the outcomes for all our students.
The successful candidate will ideally be a Teacher of English in first instance, although applications from other subject areas welcomed. You will work with all stakeholders to ensure that children with additional needs, vulnerabilities or barriers to learning receive the support they need to learn, progress successfully and maximise their potential. The successful applicant will support the strategic development of the SEN policy and provision in the school, coordinating specific provision to support individual pupils with SEN or a disability and working closely with parents, staff and other agencies.
The successful candidates will:
- Willingness to be flexible and support the school when needed
- Bring rigour and an eye for detail and experience to our ambitious school
- Be professional and approachable.
In return we can offer:
- A forward thinking and innovative Senior Leadership Team
- An open and transparent workplace that has an honest and respectful culture
- Friendly and enthusiastic children
- Caring, friendly colleagues with a strong team spirit and a positive attitude
- Supportive parents and Academy Councillors
What the school offers its staff
SHAW EDUCATION TRUST was established in 2014 and is sponsored by Shaw Trust and is a growing group of dynamically awesome academies providing education to children of all ages and abilities. Staff across our team of schools are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be successful, whatever their starting point in life. Unlike other MATs, we don’t enforce a curriculum for all our schools to follow. Instead, we support each individual school to offer a programme that enables our students to deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, sparks their imagination and fires their curiosity.
To achieve this, we pledge an unswerving commitment to improve, accelerate and enable ambitious life goals amongst all our students, and provide our schools with the support they need to deliver the highest possible quality of education. Every action we take as a Trust is guided by our core values, with the best interest of our students and staff members at the heart of everything we do.
Colleagues within the Trust benefit from:
- Access to a full range of courses both in-house and professionally accredited. These courses include all of the National Professional Qualifications – NPQH, NPQSL, NPQML.
- High quality subject and thematic networks across the Trust and the region.
- Experienced leadership and subject-specific support.
- Guidance from former HMIs and serving Ofsted Inspectors within the Trust.
- Access to the Trust’s Teaching School, Research School, Institute of Education and SCITT.
