Are you highly efficient and organised, with great communication skills and an interest in supporting students with special educational needs to succeed at school? This is an excellent opportunity for those looking for experience in an education setting, or for those already in the sector and wishing to work as part of a cohesive and highly supportive staff team. The successful candidate will work specifically within our Leaning Development Faculty, supporting the SENDCo in particular in an administrative capacity.

Ideally, candidates should have some experience of working with young people; excellent communication skills and a good general level of education are essential, as is the ability to empathise with children with learning difficulties. However, it is always more important for us to find the ‘right person’, someone able to work efficiently and effectively, show compassion and understanding, and so we also welcome applications from those new to this area of work.

Soar Valley College is an 11 to 16 school committed to excellence for all. We pride ourselves on being highly inclusive, and have a varied and engaging curriculum which promotes the love of learning and prepares all young people for the next steps in their lives. This post represents a fantastic opportunity to join our high performing staff team in this outstanding school – a great place to work, where the caring ethos inspires success for all and outcomes for children are very high.
