As a member of the SEND team, you will also be able to network with the Local Authority SEND colleagues and stakeholders.
You will be involved in CPD throughout the year with regular scheduled events attended by all teaching and learning employees. You will also have access to a host of CPD via our subscriptions and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The school is also able to support qualifications that fall within the apprenticeship levy and those that will have a direct impact on the work that we do.
Further details about the role
Bridlington School is seeking a dynamic and well organised individual to undertake a new role as SEND Manager (assisting the SENDCO). Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do and this role will play a vital part in meeting our aim to ensure all students achieve their full potential.
The Role
You will have your own caseload of EHCP students handling annual reviews, parent/carer meetings and liaising with external agencies. You will support the Teaching Assistants as a Line Manager in their performance review and CPD as well as providing guidance on best practice. As part of your administrative duties, you will also support the planning and implementation of the Teaching Assistant Timetable. You will also be involved in developing intervention strategies to meet the particular needs of students at Bridlington School, ensuring progress is tracked and monitored appropriately.
The Team
The SEND team in the main school is made up of Teaching Assistants who are allocated to faculties, enabling them to be fully converse with the curriculum area in which they support. This fosters a collaborative approach across the team as information is shared between TAs supporting the same students.
The SEND team is led by the SENDCO and Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion) who are passionate about driving the team and progress forward; you will have the opportunity to be involved in new initiatives and implement your own ideas.
The School
Bridlington School is a successful 11-18 maintained school with over 1,000 students on roll, a number which is rising year on year as our reputation as a centre of excellence grows within the local area. We have a small but thriving sixth form; the growth of this is an ambition for the school. Students are polite, respectful and keen to learn, 49% are entitled to free school meals, 25% are also on the SEN register predominantly due to difficulties with literacy and numeracy skills.
Commitment to safeguarding
Appointment is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. East Riding of Yorkshire Council is pursuing equality of opportunity in employment and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.
