Nidderdale High School is a vibrant and highly successful school, with an ambition to develop an innovative curriculum in support of academic achievement and wellbeing for all. The school continues to grow in size and maintains a strong reputation in the community.  Our recent Ofsted inspection confirmed we are a good school with ‘high ambitions’.

The school is seeking to appoint an experienced and successful SENDCo Assistant with the passion, skills and qualities to help realise our ambitions for the future.

This role provides an exciting opportunity for a colleague to contribute to strengthening SEND across the school.

The school has a strong reputation within and beyond our local community and with a wide range of professionals for outstanding pastoral care and inclusive practice. As a small school we are uniquely placed to know our students as individuals and have planned a range of bespoke and innovative programmes to support our young people, this includes our NiddVenture offer.

Relationships are key at Nidderdale High School and the successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to restorative and relational practice. They will have high expectations and an unwavering commitment to all students maximising their potential through outstanding support, encouragement, collaboration, and mentoring. The SENDCo Assistant role forms part of an inclusive pastoral structure and the postholder will support the SENDCo as part of the wider Inclusion Team.

As our school and reputation for excellence in supporting young people with SEND continue to grow, we are looking to appoint as Assistant (non-teaching) to our SENDCo, to support with the education and welfare of our SEND students.
