Champion inclusive practice and help colleagues develop confidence in supporting pupils with SEND.
Support children through key transitions, helping them feel secure and prepared for the next stage of their education.
Who you are:
Someone with experience of working with children with SEND and a genuine passion for inclusive education.
A compassionate, patient and approachable individual who puts children at the centre of everything they do.
An excellent communicator who can build strong relationships with pupils, families, colleagues and professionals.
Organised and proactive, with the ability to manage a varied workload and maintain accurate records.
Calm, resilient and solution-focused, with the confidence to navigate challenging situations sensitively.
A team player who understands the importance of collaboration and shared responsibility in helping children succeed.
Committed to achieving the very best outcomes for every child and ensuring that all pupils feel valued, supported and included.
