We are now looking to appoint a Deputy SENDCo/Lead Teacher within the SEND Provision, to join us in an exciting time in our School and Trust’s journey. We are looking for someone who gets who we are at Linaker Primary School, can inspire our school community, build on the excellent practice already in place and contribute to the Trust as a whole. Our SEND Shore Provision, opening in September 2026, will support children on the SEND register by ensuring they work from their current individual needs. Access to the provision will be based on need rather than age, enabling children to benefit from a fully bespoke curriculum within a fully integrated setting.

As the new Deputy SENDCo/Lead Teacher within the SEND Provision you will:

•         Be responsible for the leadership and management of the provision within the school to provide effective provision whilst children are withdrawn from mainstream lessons.
•        Design and deliver a bespoke curriculum tailored to the individual needs of the children accessing the provision, continually assessing and adapting their approach to ensure every child thrives and is fully supported as they move into the next phase of their educational journey.
•         Provide high quality care, intervention and support to children to enable them to access education and achieve their full potential.
•         Lead and line manage teaching assistants on a daily basis.
•         Provide support to children who demonstrate difficulties
•         Liaise with other staff and external agencies, where appropriate, to re-engage children in learning within the provision and within mainstream lessons.

We are ideally looking for someone with experience of teaching in either a primary or specialist setting who has a real passion to work with and champion our SEND learners. This role will involve working strategically with senior leaders, especially the school’s SENDCo, to develop and evolve our provision and is therefore a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a first or next step into middle or senior leadership.

The successful candidate must have experience of working with children who have additional, special educational needs.

Whether you are a qualified SENDCo or a teacher who is looking to complete their SENDCo qualification, if you are committed to championing inclusion for all and looking for an opportunity to support with leading an exceptional provision within our school, we want to hear from you.
