This is a non-teaching role that means all your time and energy can be committed to ensuring that the pupils with Special Educational Needs are at the centre of everything that you do.

I have the trust and support from a dedicated inclusion team who value me as both an individual as well as member of the team.  The job of SENCO is not without its fair share of challenges, however meeting them has been made easier by the supportive and dedicated staff who work within the Trust.  We are truly like one big happy family.  From the CEO to the wider staff there is shared vision and values that drive us to do the best for our children. I love working as a SENCO for the Heart Education Trust and intend to stay for a very long time.” (SENCO, The HEART Education Trust)

The inclusion team have a wealth of knowledge and experience and are truly committed to supporting learners with SEND which helps to drive the excellent SEN provision within the trust. As someone completely new to the area it has been lovely to be part of a team where no question is too small and they are always available to lend a friendly helping hand. I have completed several recognised training courses during my time with them including Mental Health and Speech, Language and Communication which have been invaluable to my professional development and helped us as a team to continue to be ahead of the curve and innovative in our approach. My circumstances might have changed but my belief in the team has not and I wish anyone who steps into the role the very best; you will be in excellent hands.” (Assistant SENCO, Trust)

Specialist SEND Teacher

Post Vacancy:    Specialist SEND Teacher

Location:             Heartsease Primary Academy, Rider Haggard Road, Norwich NR7 9UE

Salary:                  Main pay scale 1-6 (dependent on experience)

Job Type:             Part-time 0.6FTE; fixed term one year initially

Start Date:          September 2021 or sooner if possible

We are looking for a passionate and proactive specialist SEND Teacher for our Specialist EYFS/KS1 SEND Provision, ‘Moonstone’ Room, who is committed to helping our pupils succeed. You will have opportunities to develop your expertise through amazing CPD, a tailored career plan and to work in a collaborative and supportive environment.

The HEART Education Trust’s aspiration has been to develop an outstanding/excellent special educational needs provision for all our pupils, underpinned by our vision that every pupil in our schools will leave ‘having identified and developed their knowledge, a range of skills and talents and a sense of their own uniqueness’, therefore enabling every child and young person to achieve the best possible outcomes whatever their starting point. Our belief is that for these particular EYFS and Key Stage One children with complex and multiple special educational needs, that this will be best achieved in a specialist resource base within our mainstream schools.

The aim of Moonstone Room is to provide a specialist EYFS and Key Stage One Inclusion Base which will make sense to children, young people and their families that addresses their needs earlier and to be a place where all pupils achieve their full potential in a learning environment where they feel safe, happy, accepted and included. These are pupils that will struggle to access a mainstream classroom as their needs may make it difficult for them to cope with the sensory overload of a mainstream classroom, require a highly differentiated and personalised curriculum and higher ratios of staff to pupils.

We are committed to our role in promoting inclusion, and strongly believe in the power of early intervention with the cooperation and partnership of all those, who share our commitment and endeavours to improving the life chances of children and young people affected by special educational needs.

Listen to what our staff say…
