An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant SENDCo with the vision, skills and empathy to work with our SEND students. You must be a team player and committed to all four broad areas of special educational needs and disabilities.

This is a very exciting time to join Waseley. Following our latest OFSTED visit we have been recognised as Good in all areas and we also have a multi-million pound Department for Education project to rebuild the school well underway with the SEND department having already moved into a brand new state of the art facility in September 2025.

You will help lead a team which is empowered and dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment, where every student is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. The work is varied and challenging but very rewarding for the successful candidate.

You will be joining a School and Trust which believes in inclusion for all and will offer;

• Happy and dedicated students and staff

• An excellent induction and CPD programme

• Well-appointed and equipped modern classrooms in a new build

• The opportunity for further career development

Staff work together to ensure the best possible learning for the young people, by supporting each other through expertise and sharing so that our staff can be the best they can be.

If you would like to visit the school before submitting an application, please email acraciun@waseleyhills.crst.org.uk to arrange an appointment.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Online checks will be carried out on shortlisted candidates and an enhanced DBS will be required for the successful candidate. All successful candidates will be required to present their birth certificate along with evidence of any name changes.

Please note that applications must be the creation of the candidate applying. While technology, including artificial intelligence, may be used to help the candidate select certain phraseology, if substantial use of AI is used, the application will be disregarded.
