Most importantly, your work will make a difference. You will work with children to help identify and overcome barriers to learning, support children who may be finding aspects of school difficult and contribute to approaches that enable every child to access learning, make progress and experience success.

Join a school where inclusion is something we are incredibly proud of. Our recent Ofsted inspection described Landywood as: “A deeply inclusive school with high aspirations for every pupil.”

Inspectors recognised our welcoming and highly supportive environment where “pupils flourish”, alongside staff who are “highly skilled in supporting pupils who face barriers to their learning or wellbeing.”

Our new Assistant SENCo will become an important part of continuing to develop this provision.

We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive, compassionate and ambitious for children. You will need experience of supporting children’s learning and working with pupils with additional needs, alongside excellent communication, organisation and record-keeping skills. Just as importantly, we want someone with a positive “can do” attitude, who enjoys working as part of a team and wants to continue developing their own SEND knowledge and expertise.

In return, you will join a happy, ambitious and supportive school with amazing children, a hardworking staff team, excellent resources and a strong commitment to professional development.

If you want a role where your organisation, expertise and care can remove barriers, support colleagues and genuinely change children's experiences of school, we would love to hear from you.

Come and join Team Landywood – and help us ensure that every child has the opportunity to flourish.
