A well‑established three‑form entry primary school in East London is seeking an experienced, qualified SENCO to join their supportive and forward‑thinking leadership team from October half term. The school is known for its inclusive ethos, strong pastoral provision and a highly committed SLT who work collaboratively to ensure SEND pupils receive the highest standard of support.

This is a classroom‑based SENCO role, but the majority of your time will be spent out of class leading SEND strategy, coordinating provision and supporting teachers. You will be required to teach some lessons when needed - particularly during annual reviews, observations or when modelling best practice.

- Carry out lesson observations and provide feedback to support high‑quality inclusive teaching

- Deliver occasional teaching sessions, especially during review periods or when modelling strategies

- Maintain accurate SEND records and ensure compliance with statutory requirements

- Support parents and carers with communication, meetings and SEND pathways

- Drive whole‑school inclusion and contribute to strategic planning

Requirements

- QTS

- NASENCo qualification (essential)

- Strong primary SENCO experience

- Excellent knowledge of SEND legislation, EHCP processes and inclusive practice

- Confident communicator able to work with staff, parents and external professionals

- Ability to commit until July 2025

Contract

- Start: October half term

- Pay: £230-£245 per day (umbrella)

- Type: Long‑term, full academic year

- Interviews: Taking place immediately

- Unfortunately - There is no parking at the school but the school is well connected by several Over and Underground Train stations
