The Vacancy
Riverview Federation is already firmly established as leading the way for inclusive practice with highly successful provisions such as our Discover Groups, The Attendance Hub and Headway across our 2 schools; Baysgarth School and Castledyke Primary School. Provisions that understand that the needs of children are all different.
Across Riverview we believe every child should have access to the right provision and support and, as such, we are embarking on developing a unique provision in collaboration with the Local Authority for children in Year 6 and 7, who are struggling to thrive in mainstream and need further support in the transition phase.
This is the first provision of this kind to be implemented in the Local Authority and we are proud to be the flagship for inclusion across primary and secondary. The provision will have its own curriculum based on the needs of the children and will be designed to accurately assess what the individual child needs to be successful in terms of the right provision and environment.
The pathway will have children from Baysgarth and then children placed within the provision via the Local Authority. These children will have a range of SEMH and communication and language needs and need a different provision to the mainstream offer. There will be approximately 10 children in the provision with additional adult support and the successful applicant will deliver a bespoke curriculum based on a primary model.
All our provisions are successful because of the outstanding staff team, who are committed to working with young people with additional needs and have the expertise, skills and knowledge to really make a difference. We know that getting the right people makes all the difference for children and their families.
Therefore, we are seeking a KS2 or KS3 teacher with the passion and commitment to working with children with additional needs to be specialist teacher and SENCO within this new provision.
We are looking for someone who shares our vision for high quality support and is flexible, dynamic and innovative in achieving the very best care, support and curriculum for our children. As leader for this provision, you will have the opportunity to be involved in the planning from the beginning, making this a unique opportunity for the right candidate. You must be motivated to undertake professional development and be willing to work towards the SENCO qualification if you do not have it currently.
In return, the successful applicant will join a school whose family values mean that they recognise the importance of a well supported and resourced staff. We offer:
- Work life balance is a strong aspect of all leaders’ work and as such our staff community thrives with excellent staff retention.
- High levels of professional trust and empowerment
- Outstanding resources and facilities
- Community based school who recognise the important role the school plays in the town
- Strong leadership at all levels which seeks to involve staff in decision making
- Bespoke CPD programme for every member of staff, based on individual needs and aspirations
- Leadership and Management programme including coaching, mentoring and shadowing opportunities
Riverview is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to apply for enhanced disclosure from the DBS.
