Job overview
Job Title: SENDCo
Location: Wigan
Salary: L1 - L5 (£42,194 - £46,565) negotiable for the right candidate
Start Date: Required for 1 September 2021
Contract Type: Full Time
Contract Term: Permanent
Our school is a thriving 11-16 foundation comprehensive which is committed to challenge for all. We provide learning opportunities to allow everyone to develop their knowledge, skills and character so that they can become outstanding young adults.
The school supports a number of pupils with complex medical difficulties, autism spectrum condition, as well as other needs. The proportion of students who are disabled or who have special educational needs is above the national average. This post is a vital appointment in terms of fulfilling our vision and ambition for our inclusive school to secure and enhance positive life chances for our most vulnerable students.
We would expect a demonstrable unstoppable passion for supporting our SEND students and those with barriers to learning. It is essential that the person we appoint is an outstanding teacher, as much of the role will be to ensure that our teachers are meeting the needs of all the young people in their classrooms. In order to ensure the postholder’s credibility and to model good practice to others, the role will also encompass a teaching load.
A SEND background and/or qualifications are an advantage, though not essential. The role of SENDCo is a leadership post and the postholder would be expected to attend Senior Leadership Team meetings, play an active part in the strategic leadership of the school and line manage a large team of staff.
We place huge value on staff CPD and invest to ensure required training is available. We are very proud that we have been particularly successful with middle leaders completing the NPQML and teaching leaders programme – with one colleague recently being awarded the teaching leaders special award.
