What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you passionate about Teaching and Learning and dedicated to making a positive impact on young people's lives?
The team at The Hub School are looking to appoint a SENCO who will play a pivotal role in providing a high standard of teaching and learning to support students of all backgrounds and abilities. The successful candidate will be required to fulfil the duties of SENCO to support our growth and increasing school roll, providing high quality support and inclusive education to our pupils with SEMH.
Starting in September 2025, the role is full time and will be paid on TEAL’s qualified teachers pay scale (points 1 to 9) plus SEN Allowance/TLR2B. If you are interested in working on a part time basis, please get in touch as we would be happy to explore this further with you.
Why choose us?
We offer specialist support for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs and this is at the centre of everything we do. We support our pupils to accelerate their academic, social and emotional skills development and ultimately enable them to positively engage with learning.We have a strong, supportive and dedicated team who collectively work with all stakeholders to provide the best possible educational experience and environment. Our Trust moto is ‘work hard and be nice to people’. We are genuinely committed to our pupils and our staff, and we do everything we can to ensure every child receives the care and guidance they need to thrive.
Within The Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and also further opportunities to develop and progress. As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.
For too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.
To support this, we:
- Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off-site in their PPA
- Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
- Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust
- Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly subject specific
- Have reduced data collections to twice yearly
- Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
- Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request
We have removed the following:
- Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
- Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability
- Onerous marking policies
- Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans
Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture. To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.
What are we looking for?
You will be joining a well-established, committed team who are supportive and forward-thinking. We seek someone with experience of working with children and young people with a range of special educational needs, who possesses the skills, knowledge and motivation to be able to make a difference.
The candidate will have a strong knowledge of statutory processes and experience of working with professionals and parents/carers, participating in planned reviews.
If you are an ambitious, committed and enthusiastic individual, who wants to be a significant part of supporting young people with SEMH needs, we look forward to receiving your application. Whilst the relevant SENCO qualification is desired, we will fully fund and facilitate the training requirements for the right candidate, should they not already have the SENCO qualification.
