We have an exciting opportunity for a Primary SENDCO to join the team on a fixed term maternity contract. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the provision for children with Special Educational Needs (SEND).
You will be a qualified teacher and SENDCO and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills including the use of ICT and will have a proven track record of leadership, line management and pastoral care. In addition, you will possess, excellent classroom practice and the experience of already being a SENDCO in a similar context. We, in turn, are committed to developing these qualities further by providing excellent professional development opportunities.
Reporting to the Primary Phase Headteacher, you will lead, manage and effectively deploy staff and resources within the Primary Phase SEND provision, monitor and evaluate the development of learning and teaching strategies for children with SEND and ensure that staff are provided with relevant information and training relating to the support of these children.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.
