Deputy SENDCo
What skills and experience we're looking for
Deputy SENDCo
The very best SEND provision starts and ends with belief. The belief that all young people, regardless of starting point, need or complexity will become employed in a career with prospects. That everyone, regardless of label, deserves the right to access high quality teaching, appropriate for their needs and that ability or intellect is not fixed, but incremental, and can always be improved.
The common denominator here is the quality of the support and intervention and the commitment of great people delivering real impact and outcomes.
Which is where we hope you come in… if your beliefs and ambition align with ours and you are looking for an organisation that wholeheartedly lives and breathes the critical values of Be Proud, Be Professional, Be Nice, Be Independent and Be Resilient then we will have much to talk about.
In return we shall offer you- Continual professional development within an organisation that truly values its employees
- A network of peers and professional educators that are there to support you and help you succeed
- A diverse range of career prospects within a national trust of academies that includes international.
- A team environment that is supportive, collaborative and enthused about the future.
What is the role:
As a qualified teacher you will either already be qualified as SENDCo or be preparing for the journey to become so. You will be continually motivated by the prospect of changing lives and will have a genuine and infectious enthusiasm for inspiring your young people to transition into confident, ambitious, honest, happy, hardworking, respectful citizens.
Your teaching will be focused on delivering excellent outcomes and you will relish the occasional opportunity to teach outside of your curriculum area as part of our Enrichment Curriculum.
You will used to delivering personalised learning and will be a reliable and resilient right hand to the SENCO, seeing the occasional opportunity to deputise as an opportunity not an annoyance.
Time will be available to ensure you are up to speed with national and international SEND curriculum developments and you will be adept at summarising and reporting back to the team.
