SENDCO - Boldmere Junior School

An exciting new opportunity has arisen within the Federation of Boldmere Schools for an enthusiastic and inspirational SENDCO who is committed to inclusion and holds the highest expectations for all children.

The Federation of Boldmere Schools is an inclusive three-form entry setting, comprising of our Nursery and Infant School, along with our Junior School and Boldmere Inclusion Base (BIB). We are situated in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham. We offer places for children between the ages of 3 to 11 years, working closely as a Federation to ensure ‘outstanding’ provision for all our children.

Due to a change in the school’s strategic leadership structure, we are seeking to increase the leadership of SEND provision across the schools by appointing an additional SENDCO to work alongside the existing post-holder. It is likely that the newly appointed SENDCO will be primarily Junior School based.

We are looking for a SENDCO who:

• is a fully qualified teacher with a passion for teaching and learning for children with special educational needs or disabilities
• has wide experience of working with children with a range of special educational needs and is committed to inclusive practice
• is committed to working closely with all stakeholders, particularly parents, staff, and external partners to ensure they are involved and informed of their child’s progress
• demonstrates highly effective communication and interpersonal skills
• is self-motivated, hard-working and has high expectations for all
• is dynamic in their ability to nurture, inspire and challenge all children
• recognises and celebrates the uniqueness of every child

 Our staff provide a caring and safe learning environment, working as a friendly, supportive and hardworking team.

We can offer you:

• an opportunity to work in a truly inclusive, ambitious and forward thinking school
• a positive, collaborative and supportive school community
• a caring, creative atmosphere, which achieves high standards
• a strong and supportive leadership team and Governing Board, dedicated to genuine staff well-being and supportive of maintaining a healthy work-life balance
• a commitment to professional development opportunities and experiences

How to apply:
