Job overview
Strategic Leader of SEN and EAL
One Year, Fixed Term Contract
Start date: September 2024
Salary scale: L10 – L14
Can you provide strategic oversight for mainstream SEN and our two expanding ARPs?
Can you lead a team of SEN specialists, HLTAs and other support staff to ensure that all SEN pupils excel?
Can you work strategically with external partners to derive best value for the school and to broker the support needed by pupils?
Do you want to change the lives of young people and increase the number of children from Eastbrook with the top universities and employers?
Are you prepared to work hard with exceptional young people and staff committed to going the extra mile?
The remit for this role is simple. To make sure every child, whether SEN support, EHCP or in one of our ARPs, achieves their best possible outcomes- whatever they may be. Whilst the aim is simple what it will take to be successful is hard. You will need to work strategically with senior leaders, teachers, external support, the Borough, parents, pupils and other staff, while all the time keeping QFT at the heart. You will need to understand the importance of parental choice whilst at the same time being able to ensure that the right decisions are made for the child.
The job will be very challenging at times, but the reward will be the chance to work with, and help develop our amazing children who are polite, respectful, considerate and have a fantastic thirst for learning. They uphold our school values each day and they, in return, deserve the very best.
