Job description
Are you passionate about inclusion and ensuring every child can thrive?
Do you build trust, nurture relationships and champion children’s needs?
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate SENCO to join our nurturing and supportive team, working across our two small, welcoming Church of England infant and nursery schools. The post is available as soon as possible due to a change in role for the current SENCO. However, we are happy to wait for the right person.
We’re looking for someone who can:
Lead and coordinate SEND provision across both schools
Support children with a range of additional needs, including SEMH
Build strong, trusting relationships with children and their families
Work effectively with staff, external agencies and professionals
Promote inclusive, high-quality teaching and early intervention
Monitor and evaluate the impact of SEND provision
Model high expectations with warmth, care and consistency
Bring energy, resilience and a child-centred approach
Support and uphold our Christian values and ethos
In return, we offer:
Wonderful children who are a delight to work with
Two nurturing school communities built on strong, caring relationships
A supportive leadership team committed to your development
The opportunity to make a real difference for our most vulnerable pupils
The support of colleagues across the Southwell and Nottingham Multi Academy Trust
A community where your work truly matters
If you’re committed to helping every child feel safe, included and ready to learn, this could be the perfect next step for you.
Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment and undergo the appropriate checks. All candidates are subject to safer recruitment procedures. All posts in Primary, Secondary and Special Schools are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
Visits to our schools are warmly welcomed, and prospective candidates are very welcome to arrange a visit with the Headteacher if they wish. We also understand this isn’t possible for everyone, so we are equally happy to offer a telephone conversation instead. Please do call us to arrange a mutually convenient time.
