Are you an organised, people-focused administrator who wants to make a genuine difference to children’s lives? 

Do you thrive in a busy school environment where no two days are the same? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We are seeking a SEND & Inclusion Administrator to provide high-quality administrative and clerical support across our SEND and Inclusion teams. This is a vital role at the heart of the Academy, supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), their families, and the professionals who work with them.

About the Role

As SEND & Inclusion Administrator, you will play a key part in ensuring that identification, assessment, monitoring, and review processes for pupils with SEND run smoothly and efficiently. You will support statutory processes, maintain accurate records, liaise with parents and external agencies, and help ensure that every child receives the support they need to thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide administrative support for SEND meetings, including note-taking and statutory documentation
• Maintain accurate and confidential records for pupils with SEND
• Prepare documentation for EHCP applications, Annual Reviews, and exceptional funding requests
• Act as a key point of contact for parents/carers, arranging meetings and sharing information
• Liaise with external professionals and welcome visitors to the Academy
• Collate and manage SEND data, including progress, interventions, and monitoring information
• Work closely with the SENDCo, SRP Lead Teacher, finance team, and wider staff

What We’re Looking For

• Strong administrative and organisational skills
• Excellent communication skills and a calm, professional manner
• Confidence working with sensitive information and a sound understanding of GDPR
• Experience in a school or SEND setting is desirable, but not essential

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a supportive, inclusive Academy community
• Make a real difference to pupils with SEND and their families
• Work in a role that is varied, meaningful, and impactful
• Ongoing opportunities for professional development
• A school committed to safeguarding, inclusion, and continuous improvement
