Are you an experienced and qualified SENDCO ready to take the next step in your leadership career? Would you welcome the opportunity to drive inclusion and SEND strategy-without the responsibility of a classroom?

We are working in partnership with a forward-thinking, values-led primary school in Derbyshire to recruit a confident and impactful SENDCO. This is a unique non-teaching leadership role offering the opportunity to influence whole-school practice and outcomes.

You'll be joining a high-performing school with a strong commitment to inclusive education. The school places emphasis on research-led teaching and high expectations for all pupils. As SENDCO, your role will focus on guiding and supporting staff, shaping inclusive strategy, and ensuring effective provision for children with SEND.
