Due to the ongoing expansion of the School and Trust we are seeking to appoint, as soon as possible, a highly motivated, inspirational member of staff to assist our SENDCo in supporting young people with SEN across the school.

We seek a committed professional that is able to contribute to supporting some of the most vulnerable young people within the city and surrounding areas, striving to make a difference to their lives.
Newcastle Bridges School provides excellent educational opportunities to pupils whose education has been interrupted by mental or physical ill-health or school phobia. We seek to support each pupil’s access to a full-time, broad and balanced education appropriate to their potential and their educational needs and encourage reintegration into mainstream whenever relevant. Newcastle Bridges School was judged by Ofsted to be ‘outstanding’ (May 2022).
The school is multi-site, and includes providing education into five NHS provisions.
The successful candidate will have a particular interest in, and experience of, working with students with SEN either in a primary or secondary setting. They will have knowledge of the 2015 SEN Code of Practice and the purpose of and procedures surrounding EHCPs. They will also have excellent IT skills in order to contribute to SEN report writing and EHCP paperwork. The successful candidate will be required to travel to our sites across the school and venues within the local area.
