Rudheath SENDCo and Trust SEND Lead

This is an exciting time to join NWAT as we embark on a transformative journey to expand our provision for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We are proud to have secured approval for a 15-place SEN Resourced Provision at Rudheath Senior Academy, designed to enable students to remain and thrive within their local community.

About the Role

As the SENDCo at Rudheath Senior Academy, you will play a vital role in ensuring all children, especially those with SEND, receive the support they need to become confident, resilient learners.

The role will be primarily based at Rudheath Senior Academy for three days a week, where you will lead and oversee the development of SEND provision within the school. On the remaining two days a week, you will work collaboratively across the Trust, partnering with Headteachers and SENDCO’s from our 11 primary schools.

In this Trust-wide capacity, you will play a crucial role in shaping and enhancing SEND strategies, sharing best practices, and ensuring that every school within the Trust delivers outstanding support and opportunities for pupils with special educational needs.

This role isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and their families.
