This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced SEND professional to make a meaningful difference in a small primary school with a strong commitment to inclusion. The role is for two days per week, which can be worked flexibly across the week to suit both the successful candidate and the needs of the school.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about securing the best possible outcomes for pupils with SEND and who can work collaboratively with staff, families and external professionals. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that pupils’ needs are identified early, provision is well matched, and support is carefully monitored for impact.

The SENDCo will work closely with the SRP Lead, support staff, class teachers, the Head of School and the Executive Headteacher.

• build positive relationships with parents and carers;

• liaise confidently with external agencies and professionals;

• be organised, proactive and able to manage competing priorities;

• share our belief that every child can thrive with the right support, expectations and relationships.

We can offer:

• a welcoming and inclusive school community;

• a committed team who care deeply about pupils and families;

• flexible working arrangements across the week;

• close working relationships with the SRP Lead, Head of School and Executive Headteacher;

• opportunities to shape and strengthen SEND provision across the school;
