About the Role
Suffolk New College is looking for a SEND Officer (On-site).
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in the role of a SEND Officer to provide an outstanding service for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). If you are passionate about removing barriers for young people and supporting them to achieve their goals, we would love to hear from you.
You will be working alongside peer SEND Officers within the dedicated team who collectively work together to ensure that learners with identified additional learning needs are able to access their education to the best of their ability and make progress towards achieving their outcomes.
You will be working closely with young people and families, curriculum teams and external agencies, with a commitment to ensuring the young person’s views and wishes are central to the process and that timeframes are being met.
You will have good knowledge and understanding of the requirements for education providers arising from the 0-25 SEND Code of Practice (2014), and a relevant degree or equivalent in demonstrable experience.
We are looking for potential, not an exact match. We recognise you may not meet all of the essential criteria but if you have experience of SEND, initiative, good communication skills and can work as part of a team, we would love to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
At Suffolk New College, we promote the culture of BeSNC. Implementing BeSNC is not just a choice; it's a commitment to providing the best possible environment for our learners to thrive. It's a commitment to nurturing an inclusive and supportive community where each student, staff and community member can reach their full potential.
