* Leadership Skills: You’re ready to step into a leadership role, coordinating provision and working closely with staff, external agencies, and families to ensure all students receive the support they need.

* Excellent Communication: You can engage with students, parents, and staff with empathy and clarity, and you’re confident in delivering training to colleagues to build whole-school SEND awareness.

* Organisation & Strategy: You’ll need excellent organisational skills to manage SEND documentation, funding applications, and to track student progress effectively.

Why Apply?

* Step Up Your Career: This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced teacher to gain SENDCo experience and take on additional leadership responsibilities.
