Lead Teacher for SEND and Integrated Resource

Start Date:September 2026 or November 2026

Are you tired of viewing SEND through the lens of compliance, paperwork, and deficit models? Do you believe that with the right scaffolding, every student can produce work of exceptional quality and achieve beyond national expectations?

At Brigantia Hill Fort, we don't view inclusion as an add-on or an afterthought—it is the ultimate vehicle for achieving deep understanding for every child. We are seeking a dynamic, instructionally sharp Leader of SEND and Integrated Resource to turn this philosophy into a daily classroom reality. This role is a non-class-based position, allowing time to team teach, model best practice in classrooms and the integrated resource provision.

The Profile: Who We Are Looking For

You are ambitious and fiercely committed to equity over mere compliance. You possess the moral courage to challenge systemic inequities and dismantle barriers to learning. Instead of being a gatekeeper of knowledge, you are an approachable, curious collaborator who loves co-creating curriculum projects with mainstream teachers. You model vulnerability, welcome feedback, and continuously evolve your own practice.

You have moved past basic SEND administration and possess a track record of driving high-level academic success:

• Adaptive Curriculum Design:Experience weaving adaptive teaching strategies directly into an ambitious, cohesive, and cumulative curriculum.
• High-Aptitude Coaching:A proven history of delivering high-quality Professional Development (CPD) and coaching expert educators to adapt instruction without lowering the cognitive bar.
• Community Engagement:Experience bridging the gap between school, families, and external agencies, ensuring SEND students are visible, active leaders in public project showcases.
• Data-Informed System Leadership:Experience utilising adaptive systems and data tracking to ensure interventions for vulnerable subgroups are fluid, timely, and impactful.

You possess a high pedagogical skill set to support a culture of deep learning:

• Mastery of Adaptive Teaching:Deep expertise in cognitive science, knowing exactly how to help a student with dyslexia or executive dysfunction debate complex ideas alongside their peers.
• Metacognitive Instruction:The ability to build self-regulation frameworks, teaching studentshowto learn and actively reflect on their own progress.
• Strategic Resource Management:The skill to deploy Teaching Assistants not as "velcro helpers" who hinder independence, but as strategic facilitators of deep learning.
• Systemic Problem Solving:The capacity to analyse school-wide data and actively redesign systems (scheduling, assessment, behaviour policies) to eliminate subtle barriers to equity.

Why Join Brigantia Hill Fort?

We offer an environment where your voice as a disruptive, progressive leader is valued. You will not be buried in paperwork; you will be empowered to lead on the frontline of educational equity, shaping a school where inclusion and academic excellence are one and the same.
