An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant SENDCo with the vision, skills and empathy to work with our SEND students. You must be a team player and committed to all four broad areas of special educational needs and disabilities.

This is a very exciting time to join Waseley.

You will help lead a team which is empowered and dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment, where every student is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. The work is varied and challenging but very rewarding for the successful candidate.

You will be joining a School and Trust which believes in inclusion for all and will offer;

• Happy and dedicated students and staff
• An excellent induction and CPD programme
• Well-appointed and equipped modern classrooms in a new build
• The opportunity for further career development

Staff work together to ensure the best possible learning for the young people, by supporting each other through expertise and sharing so that our staff can be the best they can be.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Online checks will be carried out on shortlisted candidates and an enhanced DBS will be required for the successful candidate. All successful candidates will be required to present their birth certificate along with evidence of any name changes.
