TA3 – KS2 SEND Provision Lead

Heathcote School – Transforming Lives Through Inclusive Education

Are you ready to lead change and make a lasting impact on the lives of children with complex needs? Heathcote School is seeking a passionate, skilled, and visionary Teaching Assistant (TA3) to take on a pivotal leadership role in our evolving Key Stage 2 SEND provision.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to shape the future of inclusive education and directly influence the wellbeing, development, and success of our pupils. If you believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and empowering learning environment, we want to hear from you.

Why This Role Matters

As our KS2 SEND Provision Lead, you will be at the heart of a strategic transformation. You’ll lead the creation of a dedicated space for regulation, intervention, and quiet learning, tailored to the unique needs of our pupils. You’ll deliver targeted support aligned with EHCP outcomes, reduce reactive behaviour interventions, and ensure smooth transitions across phases — all while building a culture of excellence and compassion.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development of a bespoke KS2 SEND space for regulation, intervention, and quiet learning.

  • Plan and deliver interventions for individuals and small groups, directly linked to EHCP outcomes.

  • Support the strategic separation of EYFS/KS1 and KS2 provision to better meet developmental needs.

  • Coach and mentor support staff, delivering modular CPD and modelling best practice.

  • Work closely with the SENDCO to ensure consistency, quality, and strategic alignment.

  • Lead dysregulation support, reducing the need for senior leader intervention.

  • Promote safe transitions and minimise disruption across phases.

  • Contribute to whole-school SEND strategy, policy development, and specialist deployment.

  • Build expertise in areas such as dysregulation and pre-verbal communication.

  • Support families through home visits and collaborative planning.

  • Coordinate whole-school programmes, policies, and activities that enhance SEND provision.

  • Provide curriculum support, applying specialist knowledge to support teaching and learning.

  • Deliver lessons and assess progress during short-term teacher absence.

What We’re Looking For

  • A passionate advocate for children with SEND.

  • Proven experience in leading interventions and supporting EHCP outcomes.

  • Strong understanding of dysregulation, communication needs, and inclusive pedagogy.

  • A confident leader who can coach, train, and inspire others.

  • A strategic thinker with the ability to contribute to whole-school planning and policy.

  • Someone who thrives in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

The Offer

  • Grade: Warwickshire Grade H (Scale Points 17–22)

  • Hours: 32.5 hours/week, term-time only (39 weeks/year)

  • Salary: £30,060 - 32,654 full time equivalent (will be pro-rated for actual hours and weeks worked)

  • Start Date: October 2025 (or sooner subject to checks)

  • Trust People Offer: As part of the Community Academies Trust, you’ll benefit from our comprehensive People Offer, which includes professional development, wellbeing support, and career progression opportunities.
