Are you a champion of inclusion who also knows their metaphors from their metonymy?We’re on the hunt for a Deputy SENDCo who’s as  in a pupil progress meeting as they are quoting Shakespeare—or maybe even rewriting him for differentiated learning!

The Role:

You’ll be the right-hand hero to our SENDCo, helping to lead our inclusive learning strategy across the school, while also inspiring KS4 students with engaging English lessons (bonus points if you can make *Of Mice and Men* feel like a thriller and *Macbeth* less
murder-y and more memorable). If you can also throw in some support for the sports department, you’ll be a great all-rounder.

You’ll need:

• A big heart, a sharp mind, and a sense of humour.
• Experience supporting neurodiverse students and a working knowledge of the Code of Practice.
• The ability to teach English to KS4 pupils with gusto (and maybe a bit of glitter).

Desirable:

• NSENDCo, NPQSENDCo Qualification or willingness to acquire
• Level 7 Exam Access arrangements qualification or equivalent

We offer:

• A forward-thinking, supportive team who love a good CPD and an even better biscuit.
• Students who are curious, complex, and capable of greatness.
• Opportunities to grow into wider leadership roles (cape optional).

If you’re organised, optimistic, and occasionally inspired by alliteration, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make education a little more inclusive—and a little more exciting—together
