About this Role
About us
Welcombe Hills is an all-age broad-spectrum special school in Warwickshire. The school is based across two sites in Stratford Upon Avon, with our dedicated 6th Form Hub being just under 2 miles away from the main school site.
We are an integral part of Unity MAT, which is a small, ambitious trust comprising of ourselves and 2 other similar special schools.
Our collaborative working means that we have a shared understanding of the challenges and issues that our schools face and can work together to find solutions. The schools are supported by a strong Core Team who provide dedicated support services across the Trust.

The ideal candidate will be a trained SENCO or be willing to undertake training to work towards this and have demonstrable experience of working with pupils with a range of special education needs, however we recognise that staff working in mainstream settings have transferrable skills and therefore special schools experience is not an essential requirement.
