Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, creative and dedicated manager to be part of the senior team in the Inclusion Support Faculty. This role fits in the senior team of Inclusion Support, and the successful applicant would need to be somebody who is passionate about creating change and improving outcomes for students with special educational needs. We are currently oversubscribed due to our reputation in the local community for our culture of care, pastoral systems, and SEN support. We are looking for somebody who can continue to contribute to this culture and support the provision of pupils in order to meet their needs.

We currently have 120 students on roll who have an Education, Health and Care Plan. The role of the Assistant Provision Lead is crucial in creating bespoke plans for students with EHCPs and those who fall under the umbrella of Inclusion. The ideal candidate will have experience in working with students with special educational needs and experience in supporting students with SEMH, learning difficulties and EAL. You will likely have worked directly with students and be able to show experience of planning provisions and delivering interventions which meet their needs. This role has a significant administration element, and so the ideal candidate will also have experience in working with Education, Health and Care Plans, such as drafting applications and completing annual reviews.

The role of Assistant Provision Lead is overseen by members of the senior team in the Inclusion Support Faculty, which comprises an Assistant Headteacher and two SENCOs. This role sits in the leadership level of the faculty, of which there are also four provision leads who work together to oversee the operational running of the faculty.

The role of the Assistant Provision Lead is varied and adapted daily depending on the needs of the pupils who access the provision. Training and coaching would be available to the ideal candidate should they need further support in any areas of the role.
