Inclusion & Intervention Specialist (KS3 Focus) job summary

Are you passionate about re-engaging learners and building spaces where every student can thrive?

We are seeking an innovative, empathetic, and driven individual to champion our high-level SEND students, lead strategic academic readiness, and manage our vital support teams at Key Stage 4.

This isn't just a teaching or support role—it’s a leadership opportunity to ensure our Year 10 and Year 11 students are equipped with the lifelong skills they need for exam success, while managing the logistical framework that supports them. You will lead a dedicated team of Teaching Assistants, optimize our intervention spaces, and collaborate directly with academic leaders to ensure our most vulnerable students achieve their full potential.

Key Responsibilities

• Embed Lifelong Revision Skills: Responsible for ensuring students are set with robust revision skills in Year 10 and Year 11 that they can confidently utilise throughout their qualifications.
• Faculty Collaboration & Mapping: Liaise directly with Heads of Faculties regarding curriculum mapping, the development of accessible revision resources, and the coordination of Exam Access Arrangements (EAA).
• TA Leadership & Compliance: Line manager the Teaching Assistants, taking full responsibility for the strategic timetabling and allocation of TAs to the right places to meet the legal requirements of students' Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
• Strategic Space Management: Line manager key areas across the SEND hub, including targeted intervention spaces and both dedicated Learning Zone areas.
• Collaborate & Adapt: Work alongside the SENDCo and classroom teachers to track progress, adapt resources, and ensure all KS4 intervention strategies align with students' long-term goals.

The Ideal Candidate

We want to hear from you if you are:

• An Organized Leader: Experienced in staff management, with the logistical skills needed to handle TA timetabling and complex statutory EHCP allocations.
• An Academic Enabler: Highly skilled at collaborating with Heads of Faculty to map out curricula and break down KS4 revision techniques into digestible, engaging frameworks.
• An Environment Builder: Resourceful and creative, with a clear vision of how to maximize both Learning Zone areas and intervention spaces into productive, inclusive environments.
• Resilient & Empathetic: Possessing the patience, emotional intelligence, and humour required to connect with vulnerable teenagers and celebrate their small wins.

What We Offer

• A supportive, forward-thinking staff culture that genuinely values inclusion and mental wellbeing.
• The leadership autonomy to shape our KS4 provision, manage key intervention spaces, and lead a dedicated team.
• Robust professional development (CPD) opportunities tailored to SEND leadership, management, and academic intervention.
