The successful candidate will join our SEND team, reporting to our experienced SENDCo. Each member of our team is placed in a specialist hub, focusing on a particular field of SEND provision (Cognition and learning, communication and interaction and Social, Emotional and Mental health). Our vision is that our learning mentors will each focus on a particular field of additional needs provision (or have the potential to do so with appropriate training and support).
