St Alban's Catholic High School strives to provide an excellent education for our students within a caring Christian community where all are respected, valued and supported to achieve their potential. Our motto is “Love God, Love Our Neighbour, Love Learning” and through this mission we aim to inspire, challenge, support and value every student to achieve their potential.

The successful candidate will lead by example and assist the SENCo with all aspects of the smooth running of the learning support department and to manage the effective use of resources and high standards of learning and achievement for all students.

Our belief is that every child really does matter and that all of our students should feel engaged, challenged and supported in an environment where they can experience success and enjoy their learning.
