We are looking for applications from candidates who have current experience of developing provision and practice in supporting pupils with additional SEND needs, including children with cognition and learning, communication and interaction and/or pupils with sensory and complex SEND needs.
We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with experience in supporting the development of pupil’s language and communication skills including the delivery of speech and language plans.
Working under the direction of the Senior Leader for inclusion and class teachers, you will be accountable for the impact of provision, putting the child at the heart of your practice. You will support pupils accessing learning in the classroom and also lead the personalised provision of individual pupils in line with their SEND support plans; facilitating individual and group work; alongside developing strong working partnerships with colleagues, parents and other agencies. You will be responsive to children’s individual needs, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability. This may include being a child’s keyworker and/or supporting the provision of a group of learners or whole class support across the primary age range.
