Deputy Senco
Deputy SENCO
Start Date 4th September 2024
Salary SCP 17-20, £24,736-£27,098
Lammas School is a secondary school with VI Form provision in Leyton, East London. We have been serving the community for 20 years since we opened in September 2001 and are proud of the impact we are making on the lives of our young people.
We are looking for a Deputy SENCO who is educated to A level standard and comfortable working in a small dedicated team. Good communication skills are required to enable you to build good working relationships with Lammas students and their parents. You will also have a professional manner.
In these exceptional times we will do our best to show you the heart of Lammas so that you can get a sense of how well matched you may be to our professional community as a school and indeed as a Trust. Please look at our website (which is rather out-dated and in the process of a total re-build) and explore the Trust website as fully as you can (www.griffinschoolstrust.org). You will see evidence of the shared life of the schools in the Trust in events such as the Science Symposium, the Arts Festival, the Sports Festival and Founders Day.
The Trust really is a family of schools which work closely together within and across phases and geographical hubs. So in joining Lammas you do have good relationships with local authority schools and projects, but you also have a strong working relationship with your peers in the secondary school in Milton Keynes, as well as day to day involvement with our two GST neighbour primaries – Willow Brook and Riverley – both outstanding and one a shining example of what a Griffin Great School looks and feels like. It is that journey to Griffin Great that informs our development planning. Ofsted validates our progress within a defined national framework: it emphatically does not set our agenda.
To apply for this position please include a full CV with the names and direct contact details of two referees and the completed Safer Recruitment form.
Completed applications should be addressed to Mark Bland and sent to gyoung@thelammas.com
The deadline for application is 12noon on Friday 12th July 2024.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
