This is an opportunity to contribute to a Trust that is deliberate about how it improves practice and outcomes.

You will help pupils access learning, develop confidence and independence, and participate fully in school life.

This role would suit someone who is committed to inclusive education and who believes that every child can succeed with the right support.

As part of our Trust, you will be part of a professional community where:

• Schools work together, sharing expertise and improving practice

• Staff benefit from strong professional networks and collaboration across schools

• Development is supported through coaching, CPD and leadership pathways
