Inclusion Centre (Ganolfan) Coordinator

Ysgol Aberconwy
Inclusion Centre (Ganolfan) Coordinator

Required from March 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter)

This is a permanent position : 37 hours per week, Term-time + 10 days.

Salary range: G07 : £31,883 to £34,091

Closing Date: Monday 17th February 2025

At Aberconwy, we have excellent provision for supporting pupils who are ‘looked after’, have additional learning needs, exhibit challenging behaviour, or who are experiencing safeguarding or mental health concerns. Many of their needs are catered for in our Inclusion Centre (Y Ganolfan) within the school. The centre supports pupils that are struggling to access mainstream lessons and also houses our specialist centre for autism (Tegfan). There is a large team that works together within the centre offering to safeguard and support learners, provide an engaging curriculum and a holistic approach to pupils’ wellbeing.

We therefore seek to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated coordinator to work with teachers within the centre and to lead a significant number of support staff in adapting to pupils’ needs and managing and implementing necessary interventions. They will work closely with members of the leadership team, and with the school’s DSL in particular, to reduce exclusions, address safeguarding concerns, improve engagement and develop high performing, impactful behaviour systems in school. They will collate, develop and maintain ALN documentation for Y Ganolfan pupils using eclipse and the school’s systems for sharing information, taking a lead role in pupil centred reviews and in securing appropriate provision for vulnerable pupils within the centre. They will also take a lead role in supporting LAC pupils including the monitoring of progress and pupil wellbeing and contributing to and reviewing their PEPs in collaboration with the LA and external agencies.

In return, we offer you:
• A strong commitment to professional development;
• A school with high aspirations and a genuine opportunity to make a difference;
• An opportunity to help shape teaching and learning and our alternative curriculum;
• A dedicated and supportive team of professional staff and governors;
• Strong links with other local schools for partnership working and support;
• A strong community spirit;
• A vibrant and interesting place to work.

This is an exciting time to join Ysgol Aberconwy, a mixed 11-to-18 comprehensive school of over 1100 pupils. Set in its own extensive campus on the banks of the beautiful River Conwy, the school is situated in the medieval town of Conwy on the North Wales coast adjacent to the Snowdonia National Park. As a PFI School, we are exceptionally well resourced and maintained, and we have developed a significant reputation locally for the quality of our pastoral care as well as our academic success. Numbers in the school will have risen by 40% over the last five years in September, and we have developed specialist resource centres to support children with dyslexia, autism and other learning needs.
