SEND Teacher

Aston Community Education Trust are a forward thinking and ambitious multi-academy trust, comprising of three secondary academies and nine junior academies across the Rotherham, Sheffield and North Derbyshire areas. Waverley Primary Academy is at the heart of the Waverley community. We are committed to making a real difference to the lives of our young people and will provide outstanding learning and enrichment opportunities for them throughout their time with us. To be able to achieve this, we need to have a team of dedicated and outstanding staff, who will contribute to our exceptional learning community. We are seeking to employ an experienced SEND primary teacher who has the passion and expertise in supporting pupils with a range of additional needs, particularly Communication and Interaction and those with Autism. The successful candidate will have the chance to innovate and introduce new teaching strategies, including outdoor learning and sensory-based approaches and will join a team in the resourced provision areas of the academy where they will work collaboratively with the SENDCo to support all staff in developing the highest quality provision, develop and grow our resource provisions for our students which are designed to support children with additional needs in a nurturing and inclusive setting. The purpose of this provision is to provide bespoke curriculum provision and support for pupils who have Communication and Interaction as their named SEND need and provide enhanced support for students to enable them to access the wider mainstream curriculum as appropriate. You will be based at Waverley Primary Academy, however the role may, on occasion, involve working at other academies within the trust. Safeguarding ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the ‘policy’ section of our academy websites.
