Building on a successful model for Lead teachers, Flying High Partnership is looking to recruit an exceptional teacher and SEND leader to become part of our Lead teacher team. We are seeking a Lead teacher with a specialism in Inclusion who will be deployed to schools across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, within a geographical location suitable to the successful candidate.

The post holder will be deployed to a targeted school, taking on the role of SENDCo, fulfilling a teaching commitment and operating as a part of the senior Leadership team. As an expert in SEND and teaching and learning, you will support and develop practice across the school ensuring that the school meets the needs of every child. This targeted school will be agreed upon on a bi-annual basis.
