What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking a qualified teacher to be our SENCO and lead our SEND Department. The successful candidate will have an understanding of statutory processes around SEND, for example, those related to requesting and maintaining Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). The successful candidate will manage the students’ support room as well as line managing our SEN team, which currently includes two SEND and Medical Needs Coordinators and a TA. This post carries a 50% teaching load. Applications are welcome from any subject area, but there is a preference for English, Drama or Mathematics.

We would be happy to receive applications from teachers without the NASENCo qualification, but there is a requirement that this qualification will be completed and achieved within the first year in the role.

The successful candidate would be joining a friendly and driven team of staff, all dedicated to positive outcomes for our pupils.

  • Current SENCO experience or willing to train to gain the NASENCo qualification

  • Ability to promote the needs of SEND students and ensuring all are making their best endeavours to support SEND students

  • A strong commitment to well-being and mental health of others

  • Experience of developing effective partnerships with staff, parents and the wider community agencies

  • Willingness to lead training on one to one basis, or with groups.
