Future prospects

Level five is a Foundation Degree, so moving forward, applicants can complete a full degree and then move on to QTS training. As mentioned earlier, for the right applicant, we could change this apprenticeship to a level 3 with a view to moving forward to the Level 5. We are interested in supporting individuals who wish to continue and progress within the SEND education sector. 

Things to consider

Passing an Enhanced DBS check is compulsory. A strong awareness of safeguarding practise. Previous experience in a school setting or education setting is essential. Access to a vehicle with a full driving licence is essential, as some parts of the position could be in local schools or community settings, depending on student need. We welcome informal visits and conversations before application.
