We have spacious and equipped rooms within the SEND department and work to support our students across the rest of the school. We would love to show you round our department and our academy. This role offers you the opportunity to develop and excel as an individual, within a strong and effective team of practitioners. We understand that working collaboratively not only improves outcomes, but also reduces workload.

We offer:
