Deputy SENDCo

The Sheffield UTC Academy Trust provides a new and dynamic education. We opened our Sheffield City Centre site in September 2013 specialising in Engineering and Creative & Digital Media and then opened our second UTC on the exciting new Olympic Legacy Park in Sheffield in September 2016 offering opportunities for students in Health Science, Computing and Sports Science. UTC Derby Pride Park joined the Trust in December 2019 offering Engineering and Health & Life Sciences and in its recent OFSTED inspection in December 2023 was judged ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ behaviour and attitudes. All 3 UTCs in the Trust are judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

As a Trust we aim to deliver an outstanding educational experience grounded in real, relevant workplace practice. Partnerships with world-class companies, schools, colleges and universities give our students a unique start to their future careers. We provide training today for the jobs of tomorrow. Our cutting-edge facilities and engagement with employers’ / university partners provides an exciting environment in which to teach and develop professionally. Our Trust destinations are testament to our success with students progressing to Russell Group Universities, including Cambridge, and securing higher level apprenticeships and employment at companies such as Boeing, Toyota, Bauer Media, BP, Alstom, the NHS and The Royal Navy.

We are looking to recruit a suitably qualified/experienced Deputy SENDCO who can support our students working alongside the Assistant Principal SENDCO at UTC OLP.

The Deputy SENDCo will promote the progress and achievement of SEND students throughout the UTC. This role will be student focused and will ensure high standards and expectations for both SEND students and staff.
