Cloudside Academy is part of the LEAD Academy trust. The school wishes to appoint an Inclusion Leader (SENCO) who has a strong knowledge of teaching and learning but also has a passion for SEND and Inclusion. We are looking for a leader who is committed to improving outcomes for some of our most vulnerable pupils. You will be a member of a high performing Senior Leadership Team who have a proven track record of developing leadership. The post includes opportunities to share their knowledge and skills through the development of teaching and standards across school. We will give the successful applicant the opportunity to further develop and hone the craft of leadership within a highly supportive environment.

The school is looking for the following attributes in their Inclusion Leader (SENCO):

·        The ability to be strategic, flexible and have the capacity to grow the school within its current systems

·        Has a sound knowledge of the primary curriculum and how this develops over time

·        A highly skilled teacher and able leader who will be committed to our ethos and our values

·        An innovative and strategic thinker with the commitment, drive and ability to add value to a committed leadership team

·        An excellent communicator with outstanding interpersonal skills and a great sense of humour

·        Have a clear understanding of all aspects of inclusion beyond their own classroom and either holds the SEND Award or is committed to working towards it

·        Has a good knowledge of current SEND practice and how to promote this across the school

·        A dedicated and committed individual who has high expectations of themselves, the staff and the pupils

As a school we can offer you:

·        Full support from a highly successful and experienced leadership team to undertake all aspects of your role at Senior Leadership Level.

·        We have a firm belief that leaders develop over time, and you will be developed and nurtured in order to become a strong and competent leader.

·        A programme of ongoing CPD from within the school, the trust and beyond.

·        The opportunity to develop and enhance your leadership skills in preparation for the next stage of your career

·        A hard working and dedicated staff team who would relish the opportunity to be developed by you

·        High performing leaders to support your development, and less experienced middle leaders who will welcome your support and guidance.

·        A school that believes in putting children first, raising standards and transforming lives

·        Amazing children, who behave well, work hard and are active citizens within their community
