Summary
About us
The LSS is made up of 4 teams who work to support pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in schools and settings across Salford.

As a teacher with knowledge and experience of working with children and young people with SEND you will also be working to support schools after statutory decisions made by the LA in relation to EHC needs assessments.
