Assistant SENDCo (non-teaching)

At Brixham College, we're looking for an experienced, committed and proactive SEND Coordinator who understands that the right support, delivered well, can change a young person's experience of school. If you're passionate about helping students overcome barriers, build confidence and realise their potential, this is an opportunity to put your expertise where it matters most.

This is your chance to take your SEND expertise further in a pivotal, non-teaching role where your work will have a direct impact on young people's lives. You'll build trusted relationships with students and families, work alongside teachers to strengthen classroom practice, and coordinate the provision that helps students make meaningful progress. You'll bring people together, solve problems and ensure that agreed support is delivered effectively.

You don't need to be a SENDCo to make a significant difference. We're looking for someone with substantial SEND experience, excellent organisational skills, sound professional judgement and the confidence to work constructively with colleagues, families and external professionals. Perhaps you're an experienced SEND practitioner, a higher-level teaching assistant or someone already coordinating aspects of SEND provision who is ready for a new challenge.
