Are you a highly organised administrator with excellent attention to detail and a passion for supporting young people to achieve their full potential? We are seeking an enthusiastic and professional SEND Administrator to join our Learning Support team and provide high-quality administrative support to our Director of Inclusion (SENDCo) and wider SEND department.

This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of our school’s SEND provision. You will coordinate Annual Reviews and SEND meetings, maintain accurate student records, support the administration of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), liaise with parents, carers and external agencies, and help ensure that statutory SEND processes are delivered effectively and on time.

• Has strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Can handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
• Builds positive relationships with students, families, colleagues and external agencies.

Due to the nature of this role, it will be necessary for the appropriate level of criminal record disclosure to be undertaken. In making your application, it is essential you disclose whether you have any pending charges, convictions, bind-overs or cautions and, if so, for which offences. This post will be exempt from the provisions of Section 4 (2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Therefore, applicants are not entitled to withhold information about convictions which for other purposes are ‘spent’ under the provision of the Act, and, in the event of the employment being taken up; any failure to disclose such convictions will result in dismissal or disciplinary action. The fact that a pending charge, conviction, bind-over or caution has been recorded against you will not necessarily debar you from consideration for this appointment.
