SENCO

Are you an education expert? We are currently seeking to represent an experienced SENCO for a senior leadership job based in an alternative provision in Thetford, Norfolk (IP24). If you are a SEND specialist who is available immediately or from January 2025, we would be keen to speak with you. 

If you are an experienced SENCO or an experienced Deputy SENCO seeking progression who has worked with pupils with SEMH across either primary or secondary phases this role may be for you. We are currently supporting an established alternative provision based in Thetford with their journey of growth. The role can be offered temporary with immediate effect or as a permanent post from January 2025. This site is very much a blank canvass and a fantastic opportunity for an experienced SENCO to create their own SEND community. The site has the capacity for up to 36 children and has started the the new academic year on 12 heads. Typically, the site caters for pupils aged 7-17 with SEND requirements such as SEMH and ASD. A tour of the site and an informal meeting with the Headteacher can be arranged. 

This site is part of a national trust who are focussed on supporting children with complex behaviours and needs. Their pupils have experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and they work closely with them to develop self-belief to become effective learners. If you are of a similar mindset and ethos, we would be very happy to discuss the role in more detail.

A relevant UK based SENCO qualification
Substantial experience working with pupils with SEND within an education setting.
