SCHOOL BACKGROUND:
Balshaw's enjoys the privilege of being one of the most successful schools in the county and the most over-subscribed school in South Ribble. We believe that this is deservedly so.
As a school rooted firmly in the Christian ethos, each student in our care matters deeply to us. However, as an authority controlled school we do not operate any entry criteria and the school is available to students of all abilities, interests and aptitudes. Nevertheless, in following the school motto: (non sibi sed aliis) ‘not for self, but for others’ we aim to create students whose actions reflect the love of Christ as we develop them into full and well-rounded young adults ready to make valuable contributions to our society.
Balshaw’s has a proud history of academic excellence for students dating back to 1782. The school adds significant value to its students from their starting points in Year 7 to the time when they leave in Year 11. Many will go on to study at Runshaw College, which was originally the Sixth Form of Balshaw’s, and others will take up apprenticeships or employment.
Equally important to us is the richness of opportunity available to students at Balshaw’s. Set in 21 acres of beautiful land, Balshaw’s staff provide extra-curricular opportunities that other schools could only hope for. The huge range of clubs and activities have taken many of our students on to careers in sport and media with a number of well-known alumni.
THE ROLE:
Balshaw’s C.E. High School is seeking a dedicated and organised SEN Administrative Assistant to join our supportive team. This role is vital in ensuring the smooth running of our Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out a range of administrative tasks to support the SEN department, including maintaining accurate records, preparing documentation, and liaising with staff and parents.
- Supervise the SEN Regulation Room, providing a calm and structured environment for students who require additional support.
- Assist with day-to-day coordination of SEN resources and contribute to the effective delivery of inclusive education.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised and detail-oriented.
- Approachable, patient, and committed to supporting students with diverse needs.
- Able to work collaboratively as part of a team and communicate effectively.
If you are passionate about making a difference and supporting young people to thrive, we would love to hear from you!
The closing date is Monday 2nd February at 9:00am.
