We are looking for a professional who is passionate about SEND and who will inspire SENDCos and educational professionals to work creatively and collaboratively to develop their own practice both personally and professionally within school. You will need to be proactive in identifying research, training and resources to support our schools to navigate the challenges and opportunities facing SEND in the education sector. Budget and finance experience would be beneficial as you will be accountable for the AFN and FNF budgets for the family (funding delegated from the LA).
The successful applicant must either hold the National SENDCo Award or commit to achieving it within 18 months of appointment. The ability to travel between the schools in the family is a necessity in order to undertake the role effectively.
