Slimbridge Primary School is growing and with this, so is the need for staff who understand pupils with SEND … this is an exciting time to join us. In response to need, our current SENDCo will be moving to a full-time class-based role and is therefore able to support a new member’s transition into our school. So, if you are a teacher who is new to the role of SENDCo then we can provide support to help you facilitate your role.

The successful candidate will be able to respond effectively to the needs of young people with SEN and assist their learning and development, showing patience and a depth of understanding of children who learn in unique and individual ways. They will have high ambitions and set stretching targets, ensuring that the children with SEN get the precise support they need.

This post will suit candidates who are passionate about SEND and inclusion and who are flexible, creative, caring and committed to providing the best learning opportunities for all. This candidate will be flexible and hardworking and be able to work with parents and teachers, ensuring statutory assessments are put in place as well as reviews conducted of My Plans. In addition to this, the candidate will be a skilled teacher who is prepared to model lessons to others and will also have a teaching commitment in school. We are looking for teachers who particularly have specialisms in PE and/or music.
