Assistant SENCO

We are looking for an Assistant SENCo to join our new school. You should have a passion for learning, be highly motivated, work well as part of a team and be committed to engaging with pupils in a positive, calm and caring way. We can offer you the opportunity to make life‑changing differences to children, and work with a supportive, caring, dedicated staff and governing body.

This post is for 32.5 hours a week.

We are the commissioned Alternative Provision in East Sussex for pupils who have been permanently excluded from school. Our school is based across three sites: one Primary (Eastbourne) and two Secondary (Newhaven & Hastings). As Assistant SENCo you will be based at our Hastings site and support the work of the SENCo across the school. We are in an exciting period of development as we seek to shape our school in order to have an inspirational offer in place for the children in our care.

You will be joining us at the beginning of East Sussex Academy Hastings: you will have the opportunity to work with forward‑thinking staff and join a highly experienced Trust. We are looking for enthusiastic, kind, caring, resilient and dedicated people to join our team. We will offer induction training for new staff and provide ongoing CPD for our team in order to ensure we are at the forefront of educational thinking, with the children at the heart of all we do.

We are committed to safeguarding; successful applicants will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
