Information

We are looking for an enthusiastic, skilled, committed and hard-working person to join our wonderful Barden team as a member of the senior leadership team. We are in the unique and exciting process of establishing a 16-place primary SEN unit within our mainstream school, to cater for pupils with social, communication and interaction needs (which may include pupils with ASD).

You will lead a specially built and adapted unit, catering for pupils with social, communication and interaction needs, based within our school, which is planned to open in January 2022. In the Autumn Term 2021, before the unit opens, you will not be class based and will be required to take the lead (in consultation with senior leaders) on planning and implementing the structure, staffing, curriculum provision and resourcing of the unit. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an already established, or aspiring leader, to join our Barden team and play a significant role in leading and planning the direction for this new SEN unit provision embedded within a large, exciting, forward-thinking and continuously improving primary school.

Alongside the leadership and SENCo role, once the unit has opened, the successful applicant will be the lead teacher, responsible for teaching a class within the unit. They will be responsible for ensuring that the pupils attending the unit receive their curriculum entitlement as set out in their Statements of SEND and achieve their individual potential.

If successful you will be required to apply to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for a 'disclosure'.
