Job overview
Kings Norton Girls’ School and Sixth Form is an OFSTED outstanding school and one of the top comprehensives in the country. We are proud of our vibrant, socially, ethnically and culturally diverse school which lies in the heart of our community and is highly regarded locally.
The post is available as an immediate start, working part time (31.8 hours per week), term time only. The role is linked to Local Authority funding and is therefore on a temporary contract basis.
We are looking to appoint a highly motivated and skilled professional to join our SEND team. The successful candidate will have an excellent track record of working with young people to promote effective learning and building resilience. The role will be primarily to supervise and support pupils with access to the SEND hub. The Hub is a safe space where students feel listened to, supported and connected with. Many of the students who access the Hub have complex needs, often combined with trauma and adverse childhood experiences. The Hub is a space that offers high support but also ensures there is high challenge. It is a space for reflection and personal growth.
Experience of working with pupils with additional needs is essential. In addition to this experience/knowledge of relational, PACE and PDA approaches is desirable. This role requires an individual who can provide support with consistency and an ability to maintain clear expectations and boundaries. First aid training would also be preferable although training for this can be provided.
The successful candidate should be passionate about making a difference to the lives of students and keen to join a school that is relentless in its pursuit of excellence. You will be enthusiastic about ensuring the students you work with make outstanding progress. In return we can offer a supportive culture that is constantly seeking to improve learners’ experience and attainment through working collaboratively and being willing to adopt new ideas. The school is committed to safeguarding children and the post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

The School
Kings Norton Girls’ School is a highly successful 11-18 comprehensive standalone academy with an excellent reputation in the local area and beyond. The School was founded in 1910 and occupies a leafy twenty-three acre site in one of Birmingham’s most pleasant residential areas on the south side of the city. It is a very local school, the vast majority of students living less than a mile away. This has enabled the development of a strong community feel and neighbourhood links. The school breeds a quiet confidence in its students which together with their enthusiasm for learning and their determination to succeed creates a powerful dynamic for continued improvement. Following its success for many years as a Foundation School we were one of the first schools in the country to become a convertor academy in 2011. This gives some indication of the type of school we are, constantly striving for an opportunity which will take us to the next level. We never rest on our laurels or shy away from significant change where it will make the difference we need.
Our Purpose
We strive to be a community where all develop the skills and confidence to excel as leaders and learners. We believe before any meaningful learning can take place pupils should be happy in school. In order to achieve this we aim to:-
- Build a learning community which strives to ensure that each individual is valued.
- Develop a collaborative “learning to learn” culture which seeks out and shares best practice.
- Cultivate an environment which engenders an excitement about and a passion for learning.
- Deliver at all times learning experiences of the highest quality. *understand what it means to be and take responsibility as Global Citizens, respecting diversity.
