Bridge House is a specialist SEMH school supporting pupils with significant and complex needs. As our school continues to grow, we are expanding our SEND team and are looking to recruit a second SENDCo role. You will work closely with our existing SENDCo and SEND Administrator, taking the lead for Years 8–11 and serving as the Designated Teacher for Children in Care within these year groups.

This strengthened structure allows us to provide even more consistent, personalised support across the whole school — with one SENDCo focusing on Primary and Year 7, and you leading SEND for Years 8–11.
It’s an exciting time to join a developing team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of inclusion at Bridge House.

Your Role:

As our SENDCo, you will:

Support and work closely with our current SENDCo

Lead the strategic development of SEND across KS3 and 4

Ensure high-quality, personalised provision for all pupils with EHCPs

Coordinate the identification, planning, delivery and review of SEND interventions

Act as Designated Teacher for Children in Care, ensuring high aspirations and strong outcomes

Lead provision for medical needs, including managing Individual Healthcare Plans

Build strong partnerships with families and external agencies

Provide coaching and CPD to develop staff confidence in inclusive practice

What We’re Looking For:

A qualified teacher (QTS)

NASENCo desirable but not essential — but you must be willing to undertake it, and we will fully support you

Strong experience supporting pupils with SEND, ideally in Key Stages 3 and 4

A deep understanding of the SEND Code of Practice, EHCP processes and inclusive pedagogy

Knowledge of SEMH needs and trauma‑informed approaches

Experience with medical needs/IHPs is beneficial

Experience of Post-16 transition processes would be an advantage

Someone who is empathetic, organised, reflective, and passionate about inclusion

Why Bridge House?

At Bridge House, we are more than a school — we are a community.
You will be joining a supportive, compassionate and dedicated team who work collaboratively to help children and young people realise their potential. We champion a trauma-informed approach, value every pupil as an individual, and support each other wholeheartedly as colleagues.

You will be encouraged, developed and invested in — professionally and personally — as part of a team that genuinely cares.
