What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint an exceptional Lead SEND Practitioner (LSP) from March 2025
to join our Additional Educational Needs Faculty. LSPs lead on an area of SEND from the
Code of Practice. This post will focus especially on students who experience barriers to learning through their communication and interaction, or social, emotional and mental health needs.
The successful candidate will already be a highly effective teaching assistant, with experience of making impact on the progress of children with SEND in their current setting. You will have an excellent understanding of the ways that accurate assessment, planned support and teamwork all help students overcome their SEMH needs.
You will have a track record of enabling SEND students to succeed. You will perhaps have reached a ceiling in your current role, and will be looking for the next challenge in your career as a SEND professional.
What the school offers its staff
Our AEN Faculty team is growing in strength and effectiveness every year. We pride ourselves on our inclusive ethos. We have a specialist resourced provision (‘The Base’) for 20 students with EHCPs for ASC, and are a Hub for the Autism Education Trust. In addition, we have an excellent record of supporting students who require support for their C&I and SEMH needs. We embrace trauma informed practice throughout the school.
The new postholder will be the key worker for targeted students, and will support others to provide high quality interventions, drawing on their experience and expertise, and by modelling effective practice.
Commitment to safeguarding
Acland Burghley School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS Check, online vetting check and to demonstrate full understanding of the school’s safeguarding policies and procedures.
