As our Director of SEND you will: 

• Be a champion for inclusive provision across the Trust, supporting the professional development of our colleagues to ensure that they are equipped to meet the needs of all children. 
• Work collaboratively with School and Trust Leaders, SENCOs, teachers, parents, and other professionals to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all children through tailored strategies promoting academic and pastoral success. 
• Promote diversity and celebrate people's differences and uniqueness to support the trust in ensuring that every child has a sense of belonging and feels valued as a member of our community. 
• Lead the development of the Trust’s in-house SEND support service, initially through the development of in-house educational psychology provision but also by exploring further opportunities to build in-house capacity. 

The successful applicant will be a positive, dynamic and highly motivated individual with personal drive. You will be a self-starter, who can work with minimal supervision; proactive, with the ability to see what needs to be done and to prioritise work accordingly.
