The Trust is seeking a self-motivated and passionate candidate who can fulfil the role of SEND Administrator at Bluecoat Trent Academy, working within our Special Educational Needs department.

We are seeking to appoint a professional, enthusiastic and courteous candidate. The post holder will be responsible for the administration of the Academy’s SEND provision and will also be required to provide a range of administrative support services working alongside a SENDCo, teaching assistants and students alongside trust staff. The nature of the role means that no one day is the same, and there is always something new to do and learn. The post holder will ensure that these services are provided in a professional, timely manner and to an excellent standard.

Bluecoat Trent Academy is in its 4th year of opening and is therefore in an exciting growth phase so it is important to have a strong desire to be part of the founding cohort of staff. We are looking for staff who have the ambition to shape the schools into outstanding providers. Candidates should consider the school’s ethos and values to ensure these align with their own.

Collaboration and CPL are of high importance within the Trust therefore a robust programme of CPL will be provided to enable our staff to reach their potential.

The role will be based at the Trust’s Bluecoat Trent Academy but the post holder may at any time be required to support or work at any of the sites within Archway Learning Trust.
