RESPONSIBLE TO: ASSISTANT HEADTEACHER INCLUSION

MAIN LOCATION: ALL SAINTS' RC HIGH SCHOOL

REQUIRED TO COMMENCE MONDAY 20TH APRIL 2026

The Board of Directors of the Romero Catholic Academy Trust, alongside The Governors of All Saints' RC High School, are seeking to recruit a Senior Send Assistant.

All Saints' Roman Catholic High School is a thriving, faith-filled community where Gospel values are lived daily through the school's motto, "Let your light shine." Recognised in the 2025 Catholic Schools Inspection for its strong sense of community, inclusive welcome and outstanding pastoral care, the school places dignity, compassion and high expectations at the heart of its work, particularly for the most vulnerable. Staff and pupils describe All Saints' as a family where everyone is known, valued and supported to flourish. Serving the Catholic community of the Rossendale Valley, and now based in a modern, purpose-built building, All Saints' offers a warm, ambitious and inclusive environment in which the Assistant SENDCo will play a key role in the school's ongoing journey of sustained improvement.

The Senior SEND Assistant plays a vital operational and administrative role in ensuring that pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are effectively supported to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential. Working under the direction of the Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion), the post holder leads and coordinates the day-to-day systems that underpin high-quality SEND provision, including the graduated approach, EHCPs, Individual Learning Plans, intervention programmes and communication with families and external professionals. Although not holding statutory responsibility, the role is central to translating strategic intent into consistent, compliant and impactful practice, enabling leaders to evidence inclusion, quality and progress for pupils with SEND. In a smaller-than-average secondary school, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and visible difference to pupils' lives.

If you feel you have the right skills and attributes we are looking for, then we will be delighted to hear from you. Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and can be arranged by contacting the school office on 01706 213693 or office@allsaintshigh.lancs.sch.uk.

Full details and recruitment monitoring forms are available from the Romero Catholic Academy Trust website: www.romerocat.com or the school website www.allsaintshigh.lancs.sch.uk.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
