The school and its approach

A caring and inclusive school in Newton Abbot is looking to appoint a SEND and Inclusion Administrator to support its Special Educational Needs team.

The school is committed to ensuring that pupils with additional needs receive appropriate support and that families are kept informed throughout their child’s educational journey. The SEND department works closely with teaching staff, external professionals, parents and carers to coordinate support and maintain accurate documentation.

This position is ideal for an experienced administrator who is interested in SEND provision and would like to contribute to a department that makes a meaningful difference to pupils’ lives.

What you’ll be responsible for

The role combines administration, communication and coordination. You’ll help the SEND team manage documentation, organise meetings and ensure that important information is recorded accurately.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining confidential SEND records and pupil documentation.

• Supporting the administration of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

• Coordinating meetings involving parents, carers and external professionals.

• Preparing paperwork and distributing relevant information.

• Monitoring review dates and following up on outstanding documentation.

• Communicating with families regarding appointments and meetings.

• Updating school systems with information relating to pupil support.

• Supporting the SENDCo with general administrative duties.

• Ensuring records are handled in accordance with safeguarding and data protection procedures.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be highly organised, compassionate and confident communicating with parents and professionals. The ability to handle sensitive information appropriately is essential.

Previous school administration experience is strongly preferred, particularly within a SEND department. Familiarity with EHCP processes, school management systems and education-related terminology would be a significant advantage.

An enhanced DBS check will be required.

This is an opportunity to become part of a supportive school team and help ensure that pupils with additional needs receive the care and coordination they deserve.
