Vacancy Information
Bradford Council has established additional specialist provision for children and young people with SEND across Bradford District through the Local Authority led Specialist Resourced Provisions to meet the needs of children and young people with Communication and Interaction needs (including Autism) and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs.
We are looking to expand these provisions further in 2021.Those currently operational or opening later in 2020 are:
- Appleton Academy
- Co-op Academy Princeville
- Fagley Primary
- Hollingwood Primary
- Miriam Lord Primary
- Thornton Primary Academy
As a result we need to appoint an experienced senior education leader to strategically lead and manage all the local authority led resourced provisions in both primary and secondary schools supported by a team of teachers in charge, teachers and Learning Support Assistants. The candidate will already have extensive SEND knowledge, particularly of Communication and Interaction needs and SEMH, quality first teaching and senior education leadership experience.
The Code of Practice on the English language requirement for public sector workers, Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 requires that Councils ensure that all candidates applying for customer facing posts must be assessed in order to establish their fluency in English.
The criteria under special knowledge and experience on the job profile which is shown in this advert outlines what level of fluency you will be expected to demonstrate. Therefore, it is essential that you provide examples in your application.
NB. The successful candidate will be expected to travel to all the LA led Resourced Provisions and therefore needs a full driving licence
