In line with the International Baccalaureate Organisation’s inclusive approach to education, we are looking for a dynamic Co-ordinator and Teacher of SEND who is committed to inclusive education and passionate about the outcomes for students who receive learning support.

The Co-ordinator and Teacher of SEND is a prominent and visible presence within the school, who forges strong relationships with pupils, parents, staff and the wider community. Being able to run both the organisational and operational areas of the SEND department whilst also working with the SLT to continue to refine the strategic vision for SEND in the school is essential to this role.

A belief that excellent teaching for children with special educational needs creates excellent teaching for all children, is fundamental to the role.

The Co-ordinator and Teacher of SEND will develop, implement and monitor Individualised Education Plans (IEPs), Action Plans, Collaborative Action Plans, Informal Action Plans and EHCPs as required. Additional support may take place through individual and small group lessons or supporting subject teachers with scaffolding and differentiation of the curriculum.
