This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the SEN provision at Farnborough Grange Nursery and Infant School. The role will include a 0.5 fte teaching commitment.
You will be working with the Senior Leadership Team to determine the strategic development of the SEN provision and policy in the school. You will provide professional guidance to colleagues, working closely with staff, parents and other agencies. The school also has a specialist Early Years Static Hub for a limited number of children with significant/complex needs, as identified by Hampshire SEND department, in our Nursery Class and you will work alongside the SEND teacher, to ensure the highest quality provision.
The Good Shepherd Trust currently comprises 22 schools and our vision is "Be better, together, to ensure an ambitious education for every child in every school every day" so we work collaboratively as much as possible. Our hub structure provides further opportunities for collaborative working within the local area. We are committed to supporting professional development for all our staff and provide a range of employee benefits which help make us an employer of choice. Applicants with SEND experience but without the SENCO qualification are very welcome to apply. The successful candidate will be supported to achieve the new NPQ for SEND accreditation.
We would love to hear from interested candidates and please do call the school to arrange an informal visit to find out more.
The Good Shepherd Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks along with other relevant pre-employment checks, including a Section 128 Check where appropriate.
