SENCo Needed for a Creative and Nurturing Independent School. Full Time

THE COMPLETE WORKS INDEPENDENT SCHOOL

SENCo needed for a creative and nurturing Independent School.

Who we are

We are an alternative school and education charity with a 20-year track record, built on an ethos of creative and individualised learning. The education we provide is tailor-made for each child, based on their needs, interests and ambitions. We pride ourselves on our versatile and compassionate approach, and our ability to engage and inspire a wide variety of students with different SEN, SEMH, medical needs and disabilities.

The role

The SENCo role at TCW is a unique, challenging and highly rewarding role, with many differences to working in a more traditional setting – so we are looking for someone with an open mind as to what the role requires who is excited to work with us to achieve the best for our students. You will oversee the special educational needs of all the students across our school, ensuring that all needs are met to the best of our ability and that the students all have effective and productive annual reviews, documented to the highest standard. As TCW is a remote school, this role requires good communication skills to allow teachers to consult with the SENCo through various means enabling good practice and knowledge to be imparted to key members of staff who work directly with the students. The providing of tailored advice is a big part of this role as you will be the first port of call for most SEND queries from staff, parents, referrers and students.

We welcome applications from individuals seeking flexible working.

What we offer:

• Exciting and meaningful work
• Regular professional development from our training team
• A friendly team of staff to share in your journey
• Personal wellbeing support from a trained counsellor
• Access to hundreds of company discounts through Perkbox

You will need:

• An Honours Degree or Equivalent SENCo qualification
• A certificate in psychometric testing, assessment and access arrangements
• Experience of working with children who have SEND
• Experience working in an Alternative Provision would be an advantage

Pay:

• From £29,512 per annum – Term time

Training:

• We run ongoing professional development for all staff on Thursday afternoons – 4.30 – 6.00pm

Interviews: This role is currently empty so we will be interviewing as we receive appropriate applications and reserve the right to make an appointment sooner than the final submission date should we meet the right candidate – therefore please apply sooner rather than waiting!

Closing: 05/06/2023 – 11.59PM

Start date: September
