SENCO job summary
This is a particularly exciting time to join Oscott Manor, the second school who joined the newly established Think Differently Education Trust. This marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for our community, opening up fresh opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and professional growth across Birmingham. By joining us now, you’ll be part of shaping a progressive trust from the ground up — helping to drive meaningful change for our young people while developing your own career in a supportive and ambitious environment.

Key responsibilities
Ensure EHCP reviews take place within the required timescales.
Monitor the effective delivery of provision specified in Section F so that each pupil’s identified needs are met.
Work closely with the Pastoral Manager to coordinate approaches to behaviour support.

Experience of working with young people with SEND, including autism and medical needs.
The National Award for SEN Coordination (NASENCO), or evidence that you are working towards it.
