SEND and SEMH Manager - SEND

Gloucester

We are seeking an inspirational SEND and SEMH Manager to join our passionate team at Bridge Training. This is a vital role for someone who can mentor staff, model professional excellence, and drive inclusive, student-centred support across our organisation.

Bridge Training is not your typical education provider. Since 1989, we’ve created alternative educational pathways for young people across Gloucestershire who may not thrive in mainstream settings.

Our focus is on rebuilding confidence, re-engaging learners, and delivering real, impactful change through:

• Vocational training
• Functional Maths and English
• Small class sizes and tailored learning
• Supportive, flexible teaching environments

As SEND & SEMH Manager, you will:

• Take strategic oversight of students with EHCPs and additional needs
• Lead Annual Reviews and Independence Assessments/Reviews
• Liaise with Local Authorities to ensure streamlined and effective partnerships to benefit young people
• Identify and deliver appropriate levels of support in line with the graduated approach and EHCP provision
• Work with the teaching staff to ensure consistent, inclusive practice
• Innovate approaches that empower young people to become resilient and independent, and help them realise education as a vital life foundation

You will also champion Bridge’s ethos of holistic, person-centred learning, and work with learners who may have complex personal barriers, including social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs.

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

• Is passionate about transforming lives through education
• Has experience in SEND leadership and knowledge of EHCP processes
• Understanding of practices to overcome barriers associated with SEND/SEMH
• Can inspire and lead staff through effective mentoring and example
• Is innovative, proactive, and driven by student success

At Bridge Training, you won’t just be taking on a job—you’ll be becoming part of a team. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Make a genuine difference in the lives of young people
• Work within a values-led organisation where students come first
• Shape inclusive practices and help others grow
• Join a collaborative and supportive team that believes in change
