You will work closely with our existing SENDCo and SEND Administrator, taking the lead for Years 811 and serving as the Designated Teacher for Children in Care within these year groups.
This strengthened structure allows us to provide even more consistent, personalised support across the whole school with one SENDCo focusing on Primary and Year 7, and you leading SEND for Years 811.

* Lead provision for medical needs, including managing Individual Healthcare Plans
* Build strong partnerships with families and external agencies

What We’re Looking For:
* A qualified teacher (QTS)

* Strong experience supporting pupils with SEND, ideally in Key Stages 3 and 4
* A deep understanding of the SEND Code of Practice, EHCP processes and inclusive pedagogy
* Knowledge of SEMH needs and traumainformed approaches
