Job overview
Tes is supporting the appointment of a SENCO / Head of Learning Support to join a School based in Wandsworth.
The school is seeking an experienced Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) teacher to become a key member of their learning community.
As SENCO / Head of Learning Support, you will play a pivotal role leading and managing the school's Learning Support Department.
You will be responsible for ensuring that SEND support within the school enables every pupil to achieve their full potential.
Experience and excellent knowledge of strategies to support teaching and learning of pupils with SEND is essential.
Experience of developing an inclusive curriculum and successfully preparing pupils with SEND for public examinations is equally important.
Working at the school
There is always a buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. With a weekly staff briefing, half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, all of them are engaged in a lively ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims and aspirations.
Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining them should expect to do the same and share their commitment to the highest standards. At the same time their ethos remains unpretentious, kindly and practical, and there’s a strong sense of community and friendship at the school.
They aim to look after their staff well: they have an appraisal scheme with a focus on employees’ professional development; they sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; they offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and they're committed to supporting staff wellbeing. Financially, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
