What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to recruit a full time SENDco across Belvedere Infant & Nursery School and Belvedere Junior School due to the secondment of our current SENDco. This is initially for a two-year period with the possibility of being made a permanent role at the end of the two-year secondment. We are ideally looking for applicants who have experience as a school SENDco, but we are able to support the successful applicant in gaining their SENDco accreditation. This is an opportunity to form part of the school senior leadership teams and we welcome applications from applicants who already have leadership experience. Our SEND provision is a strength of both schools and we can offer you excellent support from both our central Trust Head of SEND and our school SENDco Assistant who works full time across both schools to support with all aspects of SEND support, including administration.

What we offer you:
- A friendly, dedicated staff team who believe in teamwork and building positive relationships across the school, the Trust and in the local community.
- High quality development programme with induction programmes for all new staff.
- Excellent CPD opportunities, including outstanding ECT development and middle leadership training
- Annual conferences with keynote speakers.
- Access to professional coaching.
- A supportive and collaborative working ethos, including support from the Trust’s Central Executive Team and a range of experts, such as specialists in pupil welfare, SEND and behaviour.
- Termly year group and subject leader forums to increase collaboration and reduce workload.
- Access to Employee Assistance Programme including free counselling.
- Access to discounted wrap around childcare for staff.
