SENDCo - Head of Department job summary

IIt is an exciting time at Becket Keys Church of England School (Outstanding, 2014). We are working hard to build upon the exam successes of our founding cohorts, whilst also establishing our new 6th Form into its fifth year.

Due to our current SENCO relocating, we are seeking a suitably qualified SENCO to continue her excellent work.

This post is a vital appointment in terms of fulfilling our Christian vision and ambition for our inclusive school to secure and enhance positive life chances for our most vulnerable students. As such, we are determined to recruit a highly capable, dedicated and ambitious professional who will add value to the school in ensuring excellent levels of academic progress and securing the best possible social and emotional well-being for our students.

Whilst an unstoppable passion for supporting our most vulnerable students and those with barriers to learning is essential, our expert Trust (The Russell Education Trust) can provide training, advice and support to anyone who is still at an early stage in their career.

The successful candidate will be able to model outstanding teaching in the classroom to develop the practice of all staff. We would expect our SENCO to teach around 14-16 periods per week – preferably in an Ebacc subject.

The successful candidate will lead our dedicated inclusion team to support our students. We do not use ‘teaching assistants’ but instead prefer to use ‘learning support technicians’ who support the ‘assess review do’ process - keeping the responsibility for delivering all SEN support with the class teachers who are always the experts in the room.

The successful candidate will also need to have the skills and experience to deal with parents, local authority officers, educational psychologists, SEN specialist teachers. It is a particularly demanding role in this respect as there can be very difficult conversations to be had and these must be handled skilfully and sensitively.

If you possess the qualities and passion we need for this vital role, we will welcome your application.

The appointee will be committed to our high expectations and core Christian values. However, we welcome applications from teachers irrespective of their faith or lack of it. All we ask is that all applicants appreciate and respect the beliefs of others and have strong moral principles.

We reserve the right to close advertisements early. Advertisements will therefore close at 12 noon, either on the advertised closing date, or the day the decision has been taken to close the advertisement early.

Becket Keys is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need a full DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, which can be applied for once a job offer is made.
