Job Details

This is a hugely exciting role in our dedicated and dynamic Student Support team. A team that is a highly valued and integral to the inclusive and aspirational ethos of our school, where we seek to nurture the success and self belief of all of our students.  The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop as a practitioner and leader in Special Educational Needs supporting children with SEND to achieve and colleagues to develop in their practice. The role is ideal for those aspiring to other leadership positions in SEND or educational support more widely.

The strategic purpose of this role is to: 

  1. Lead on the operational day to daymanagement of the Learning Facilitator Teams, including positive reinforcement and monitoring of Student Support team protocols, professionalism and systems.
  2. Ensure the above work effectively to achieve and maintain high standards of support for students with SEND so that colleagues understand how to help students achieve the best outcomes.
  3. Work to embed understanding and approaches that will improve the achievement and care of students with SEND.
  4. Take strategic direction from the SENCo, acting as a link between TA team and SENCo.  

The teams themselves reflect the categories of the Code of Practice, with a learning facilitator leading each one.   

  • Cognition and Learning

  • Physical and Sensory needs

  • Communication and Interaction

  • Social, Emotional, Mental Health

The lead learning facilitator will support the SENCo in leading each learning facilitator through training, guidance and support. The SENCo/LA/Lead Professionals/external providers aim is to ensure each learning facilitator becomes specialists in their field. Knowledge and expertise gained from their CPD is cascaded down to their teams.  

This position will provide ‘holding’ for the team, enabling the SENCo(s) to engage in the systemic changes that are required in each of the four key areas of SEND. The post holder will receive weekly coaching/supervision from the SENCo(s), along with other relevant CPD to ensure they can support others credibly, plan systematically and develop themselves. They will be required to take an effective overview of events and issues, managing these before passing them up to the SENCo.
