SENCo

Judged by Ofsted as outstanding, the amazing thing about Outwood Academy Portland is what happens every day in every lesson. 

We have created an educational environment where staff and students constantly strive to improve; where teachers sharpen their skills and expand their repertoires to deliver an outstanding learning experience; and where teachers, classroom assistants, mentors, tutors, inclusion support assistants and students operate as a seamless team. 

This post is a vital appointment in terms of enhancing and ensuring the positive life chances for our students through success and achievement. As such we are keen to recruit a dedicated and ambitious professional who will add value to the academies in both academic terms and through involvement in the fabric of learning and success beyond the classroom. The successful candidate will be able to access the extensive advice, support, resources, CPD and career opportunities available in the academy and across the Outwood Grange Family of Schools.

You will be a suitably qualified SENCO or someone with a willingness to achieve National SENCO Award and will be expected to deliver between 14-17 hours of teaching per week.

This outstanding individual will provide expert advice, modelled through outstanding teaching to develop the practice of all staff and will work closely with our dedicated inclusion team to support our students.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a new stage in its development and be part of our journey as we strive for continued improvement, transforming the life chances of the young people in our care. If you are passionate about the success of your students, and have the energy to make that success a reality, we would welcome your application.

In line with the Government’s announcement, our academy is closed until further notice. However, we are still busily planning ahead for the forthcoming academic year and are excited about welcoming new recruits to come and join us. In place of academy based interviews, we have set up systems to ensure that alternative options are still available via skype/video conferencing wherever possible. Every effort will be made to try to accommodate any specific requirements so that no-one is at a disadvantage.
