We are excited to offer an opportunity for an experienced and passionate practitioner to take on the role of Strategic Lead for Resourced-Base Provision currently across four of our schools.
Our resourced-base provisions collectively cater for up to 50 pupils with communication and interaction needs and those with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) or on the pathway to ASC diagnosis. All children will have an EHCP and some may even be awaiting specialist placement. The resourced-base provisions are currently in the following schools: St Clements & St John’s CE Infant School, Bethany CE Junior School, Old Town Infant School and Queen’s Park Infant Academy.
This is a key leadership role to build further on the strong foundations already laid in these provisions as we aim to further strengthen consistency and quality of provision and pupils’ outcomes. You will receive support with administration and will work closely with the central Inclusion Lead Practitioner to shape provision, align practice and drive improvement across the partnership.
What You’ll Do
* Manage the strategic development and line management of resourced-base provision across schools
* Drive consistency in systems, practice, and outcomes
* Lead on quality assurance, curriculum development, and admissions oversight
* Strengthen partnership working with schools, Local Authorities, and external agencies
* Oversee and evaluate the impact of the provisions
Who We’re Looking For
* Committed to inclusive, high-quality provision
* A collaborative leader with a strategic mindset
* Able to work across multiple settings and drive consistency
* Qualified SENDCo (or extensive SEND support and willingness to secure the qualification if required)
This is an exciting opportunity to influence provision at a partnership level while maintaining flexibility within your current role. This post is offered as a secondment opportunity in the first instance.
