SEND Teacher

About us

The staff and governors of Longsight Community

Primary School, a friendly, inclusive and supportive school, are looking to

recruit a highly effective classroom practitioner with significant experience

of delivering IEP and EHCP provisions.

Longsight Community Primary is a one-form entry

primary school serving a richly diverse community in Longsight. Longsight CP is

part of the multi-academy trust Big Life Schools, which shares the vision and

values of the Big Life group. Longsight CP is a UNICEF Rights Respecting Gold school and we pride

ourselves on our inclusive, nurturing ethos with a strong focus on the

wellbeing of staff and children (23% of our pupils are on the SEND register and 6.8%

have an EHCP).

Our

specialist SEND provision (The Treehouse) was established in January 2025 in

response to the very high level of complex needs within the school. These

include children with significant communication and interaction difficulties,

displaying high levels of sensory-seeking behaviour, and requiring sustained

1:1 support for basic self-care needs. All pupils accessing the provision have

an EHCP, and most meet the threshold for a specialist school placement. Our school

has developed this provision to ensure these pupils receive a safe, structured,

and developmentally appropriate education.

The successful candidate will:

Be

an experienced, outstanding teacher of children with additional needs Be

able to work well in a team and deploy and support additional staff effectively Be

positive, resilient, flexible and work well in our happy team Be

committed to and passionate about challenging inequalities and making a

difference Be

able to develop positive relationships with parents and communicate well with

people from diverse backgrounds Share
