Due to the continued growth of the school, they are seeking to appoint an Assistant SENDCo with experience as a Specialist Teacher, Speech and Language Therapist, Assessor or Higher Level Teaching Assistant to join them on a permanent basis.

At the High School, they maintain an inclusive ethos, and they admit students with a range of additional learning needs. As Assistant SENDCo, you will provide key support to these students, working alongside the Head of Neurodiversity (SENDCo) to take responsibility for agreed activities / interventions. This will involve assessing, planning, and delivering interventions for individuals or small groups, including reporting on achievement, progress and development.
