SENCO 

Full-time, to be responsible for both Special Educational Needs and Gifted and Talented and More Able students • Required from September 2017

€22,800 - €30,000 depending on experience + generous annual holidays and fee reduction for staff children

The Junior & Senior School is a not-for-profit International school for children aged 2-19, situated on two sites in the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia. Our students are drawn from the local population (60%) and increasingly from the international community (40%). We follow a largely UK curriculum with some elements of IPC and prepare our older students for IGCSE and A levels.

We are seeking to recruit a full-time SENCO to be responsible for both Special Educational Needs and Gifted and Talented and More Able students. 

This post requires a well-qualified, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, hardworking and energetic individual. 

Candidates should have a qualification (undergraduate or postgraduate) in SEN (Special Educational Needs) and relevant teaching experience. The successful candidate should be fluent in the English language.

Areas of responsibility:

The purpose of this post is to support the learning of children with Special Educational Needs, both in terms of learning difficulties and those who are gifted, talented or more able. This may be as a result of a learning or processing difficulty, a physical disability or the fact that they have entered our school with limited knowledge of English, or in the case of the more able, identified by a high IQ. Each child will need an Individual Learning Programme which will be produced in consultation with parents, teachers and any necessary external experts. The child will then be supported throughout the year according to their individual need. The SENCO will oversee and coordinate this process using the human and physical resources available. The SENCO will be an outstanding and inspirational practitioner who is passionate about raising attainment through motivating and inspiring students and staff and hold the belief that all pupils are individuals with specific needs which the school should strive to meet.

The Junior & Senior School has:

· Ambitious, eager to learn students who have the benefit of both a comprehensive curriculum and extra curriculum programme;

· A safe, caring environment where respect and consideration is taught, established and valued by all;

· Warm and dedicated staff who are committed to their students;

· High quality facilities including two specialist music rooms and two drama studios, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts and extended athletics facilities and futsals;

· Sports facilities available to staff out of hours, reduced fees for staff children and a vibrant CPD programme.
