About the Trust

The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly “Learning together; to be the best we can be.” This vision is what we aspire to and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

Our Opportunity

We are looking for practitioners who have an innovative approach to their work and aren’t afraid to think of new and interesting approaches to the support they offer.

The role will initially be supporting in our lower school department which covers both KS1 and KS2 pupils, however you may be asked to support in our upper school department too. You will be supporting learners within their classroom environment as well as their personal and social development during socialising periods through break and lunch times. The role may also involve supporting pupils who are accessing an alternate provision away from the school environment.

We actively welcome applications from existing SEND practitioners looking for a new whole school role, as well as colleagues who are looking to move in to SEND sector. It goes without saying that we will nurture, support and provide you with the professional development needed for you to succeed.

Through our Trust we can also provide the training and development for you to develop skills and qualifications to support you in working with our children and young people.

What you can expect

An exciting opportunity to join an academy with a fantastic cohort of students and a highly supportive staff and leadership team.

A thriving environment where you will be supported and encouraged to think in new ways.
