Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) -...
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Paid to scale + SEN Allowance
The Role
A premier Secondary Academy in Leeds is seeking a professional, highly analytical, and exceptionally organised Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) to lead their inclusion and learning support faculty. This is a prominent leadership position within the school, perfectly suited for an experienced advocate of inclusive education who excels at implementing targeted intervention strategies, managing multi-agency networks, and optimizing statutory compliance frameworks.
The successful candidate will take strategic and operational accountability for the school's SEND provision across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. Key responsibilities include maintaining the centralized SEND register, constructing precise Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), updating individual learning portfolios, and managing the school’s team of Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) and Learning Support Assistants (LSAs). You will analyze progress data metrics to identify learning barriers, deploy high-impact intervention programs, and lead regular staff training sessions to champion adaptive teaching techniques across the wider curriculum.
You will serve as the school's principal authority on statutory SEND codes of practice, writing detailed assessment profiles and representing the academy during local authority reviews. Absolute professionalism, empathetic leadership, and crisp communication skills are required, as you will serve as the primary link between parents, academic staff, educational psychologists, and healthcare networks to ensure every student accesses tailored, equitable support tracks.
