This is an exciting time to join Tibshelf Community School as we make a significant investment in the continued development of our SEND provision. As part of our wider inclusion strategy, we are expanding our team through the recruitment of four new colleagues, strengthening our capacity to provide high-quality, personalised support and ensure that every young person has the opportunity to thrive.

We are incredibly proud of the reputation we have already established for providing exceptional support for pupils with special educational needs, and these new roles represent the next stage in that journey. We are looking for caring, committed and enthusiastic people who share our belief in truly inclusive education and who want to make a tangible difference to the lives, confidence and aspirations of our young people.

Whether you are already experienced in SEND or looking for an opportunity to develop your skills within a supportive and ambitious team, this is a fantastic time to become part of the Tibshelf Community School community.

The post requires a good understanding of support mechanisms and strategies. An understanding of ways in which individual students learn is required to establish a learning programme based on identified individual needs.

Experience of working with young people within a creative environment, focusing on Drama, Music or Sport is desirable.

If you have these skills and you are keen to work as part of an enthusiastic team of support staff, be part of creating a dynamic and innovative learning environment, then we invite you to apply.
