The ASN & Inclusion Improvement Manager is responsible for ensuring that the service is designed to remove barriers to participation, learning and achievement, and to promote equity of provision by:

  • Placing the needs of children and young people at the centre of service delivery
  • Identifying and addressing the holistic complexity of barriers to participation, learning and achievement
  • Working and planning collaboratively with partners
  • Building capacity at individual and systemic levels
  • Operating within a context of continuous improvement

The ASN & Inclusion Improvement Manager will deliver effective leadership and will have management responsibility for the ongoing improvement agenda for ASN schools and inclusion in mainstream schools. The postholder, as part of the Education Senior Management Team, will provide strategic management and guidance to enable the service to deliver the highest quality of education for all young people and children in schools across West Lothian.

The ASN Service works in partnership with schools, the Educational Psychology Service, the Quality Improvement Team and multi-agency partners to deliver education services and contribute to the overall aims of the council in relation to the educational attainment, achievement and health and wellbeing outcomes for West Lothian's children and young people.

More specifically, this post will support schools in improving the delivery of education provision, learning experiences and opportunities for children and young people with additional support needs across the curriculum in every educational context and setting, enabling all pupils to achieve at their highest potential. Collaborative planning with multi-agency partners is a key focus throughout the service's strategic and operational activities with the Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) agenda underpinning all partnership working. 

A relevant teaching qualification and registration with the General Teaching Council for Scotland is essential.

We are keen to employ a diverse workforce that reflects the people of Scotland. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and particularly from groups currently under-represented, including people with disabilities, those from minority ethnic communities or from socio-economically disadvantaged
