The SSC at Oriel

The SSC (Specialist Support Centre) at Oriel is a strength of our highly inclusive school. Students in our SSC receive additional support to provide them with the key skills they need to access the mainstream curriculum. The SSC is a key part of our SEND and wider inclusion strategy.

The SSC aims to support students who have Speech, Language and Communication as an identified need and the role of the Director of Learning is to lead this provision and to support all staff in supporting all students who might need additional provision in this area.

Students who are part of the SSC provision participate in our broad and balanced curriculum throughout. This encourages them to develop social skills, independence and strong relationships with staff and students which prepares them for the next step in their journey—whatever that may be. This reflects our inclusivity and commitment to nurturing the whole child.

We are looking to appoint someone who…...

  • Is an excellent teacher with the ability to support, encourage, enthuse and engage learners,
  • Has experience of supporting students with SEND.
  • Has experience of teaching across Key Stage 3 and 4
  • Can lead staff and think strategically.
  • Can be an expert on specific areas of SEND

Oriel actively encourages CPD throughout the school with a comprehensive program for teachers at all stages of their careers. We would welcome applications from suitably qualified teachers who are looking to further their skills, experience or qualifications.
