Over the February half-term (Monday 13 - Friday 17th February), we will be hosting a staff recruitment and careers week for those interested in making a difference to the future aspirations of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

An opening session at the beginning of the week will introduce the trust and its provisions and a closing session at the end of the week will address and answer any questions submitted during the week.

During the week there are opportunities to visit schools face to face for a tour and chat to staff, in addition pre-recorded videos from current teachers and support staff will be made available to offer an insight into working at SENDAT. Other videos will provide opportunities to find out more about current vacancies, the application process, benefits of working at SENDAT and upcoming projects for which we will be recruiting.

Anyone in or outside of education is welcome to access the content from the virtual recruitment and careers week which will be shared below . If you are interested in accessing the live streams at the start and end of the week, please book your free tickets using the links below.

If you have any questions, please submit these via the Microsoft Form which is linked at the bottom of the page so they can be answered in the closing session.


SENDAT is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young persons at all times.
