Job description

Nottingham High School is seeking a passionate and dedicated Second in Learning Support (Senior School) to support all aspects of our Special Educational Needs provision across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside our Head of Learning Support to ensure that our students receive the support they need to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Our Learning Support Department is based within our impressive Wellbeing Centre, which opened in 2024 and provides a calm, purpose built environment at the heart of the School. From here, our Learning Support team works closely with students, parents and teaching staff to ensure that support is cohesive, responsive and effective.

This role could suit a secondary school teacher looking to step outside of their subject specialism, or alternatively a teacher looking to move away from teaching and to focus their career within SEND. Conversely it may appeal to someone who has previous experience of SEND at a secondary level and now seeks further responsibility before potentially making the move towards becoming a SENCO.

At Nottingham High School, we aim to give you all the support you need to nurture your talent, develop and reach your professional and personal career goals. We are committed to providing competitive employment packages whilst supporting the wellbeing of our staff to help them reach their full potential. As a member of our team, you will have access to a range of benefits and rewards, including fitness and health facilities, complimentary refreshments and a contributory pension scheme. In addition, we offer discounted travel to work and car parking.
