SENCo (with the potential of Assistant Headteacher) job summary

The SENCo (and potential Assistant Headteacher, for the right candidate) will take a central role in assisting the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, and Evolution Academy Trust to develop our school in accordance with its shared values and development plans.

Our SENCo plays a vital role in supporting the inclusion and achievement of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities across the primary age range. The SENCo will lead on identifying needs, coordinating targeted support, and working collaboratively with staff, families, and external professionals to ensure every child receives the help they need to thrive. The SENCo is expected to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and uphold the school’s policies and staff code of conduct at all times.

In the absence of the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher, the SENCo/Assistant Headteacher (if relevant) will deputise as directed. They will also fulfil the professional responsibilities outlined in the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD) and take responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people within the school and school resource base.

The SENCo will inspire others by embodying integrity, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. They will forge meaningful connections with parents, carers, and the community, creating a supportive network that empowers every student to reach their full potential.
