What skills and experience we're looking for
The Sheffield Inclusion Centre is made up of 9 sites and you will have overall responsibility of one of our bases. Our bases are small centres for up to 15 pupils. They are very different in nature – some being nurture (SEND), others being ESOL or one focused on outdoor learning.
One of the posts advertised will be based at one of our Roma Slovakian bases near Fir Vale. We have two other bases in close proximity to support.
You will provide leadership for staff and children and focus on the day to day running of the base and ensure pupils attend well, have a positive learning experience and are safe and sound. We have excellent relationships with families in working through social issues, undiagnosed or unmet needs and supporting social needs.
You should also include in your application:
1. Examples of leadership experience.
2. Your experience with vulnerable/disadvantaged children
3. Examples of your commitment to self-development and your levels of professionalism.
We are looking to appoint base leads from a variety of backgrounds and work experiences. Your big personality is more important to us than your qualifications.
Applicants will ideally meet the following criteria:
• confident
• energetic
• good sense of humour
• team player
• flexible
• thoroughness
We are a multi-site school, therefore holding a driving licence would be advantageous.
What the school offers its staff
We can offer our commitment to your professional development and the opportunity to make a very real difference to the lives of our children.
