Lead SEND Practitioner
Overview
We are looking to appoint an exceptional Lead SEND Practitioner (LSP) from February 2025 to join our Additional Educational Needs Faculty. LSPs lead on an area of SEND from the Code of Practice. This post will focus especially on students who experience barriers to learning through their communication and interaction, or social, emotional and mental health needs.
The successful candidate will already be a highly effective teaching assistant, with experience of making impact on the progress of children with SEND in their current setting. You will have an excellent understanding of the ways that accurate assessment, planned support and teamwork all help students overcome their SEMH needs.
You will have a track record of enabling SEND students to succeed. You will perhaps have reached a ceiling in your current role, and will be looking for the next challenge in your career as a SEND professional.
Personal attributes
The new postholder will be the key worker for targeted students, and will support others to provide high quality interventions, drawing on their experience and expertise, and by modelling effective practice.
You will be a highly effective communicator and a reliable team player. As a core part of your role, you will develop a confident understanding of the curriculum, and work with faculty teams to support interventions and share responsibility for student outcomes. You will have a desire to progress professionally and personally within the role. You will work effectively with other LSPs, the SENDCo and his team of SEND leaders, as well as working closely with the Inclusion Team, and our large group of Teaching and Learning Assistants.
