SENCO Opportunity

Teaching Personnel's PWR team are looking for a passionate and dedicated Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) to join a forward-thinking academy based in Erith, Greater London. This is a significant opportunity for an experienced professional to lead and shape the SEND provision across the school, ensuring all students receive the support they need to thrive academically and personally. The role is available for a September 2025 start, potentially sooner for the right candidate.

The successful applicant will be responsible for the strategic development and day-to-day management of the school's SEND policy and provision. You will lead a team of support staff, work collaboratively with teachers, parents/carers, and external agencies, and ensure the academy meets its statutory duties regarding SEND pupils.
