About this role
Dear future SENDCo,
We are looking for a confident, ambitious and thoughtful practitioner who wants to make a real difference — not just maintain what already works.
If you believe inclusion belongs at the heart of a school (not filed away in a policy), and you’re someone who is curious, reflective and keen to keep getting better, then this might be the role for you.
You’ll lead SEND across the school — but this isn’t just about systems and paperwork. You’ll shape provision, support staff, work closely with families, and stay connected to the classroom through teaching.
Put simply: you’ll have real influence, and real responsibility.
