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.

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.
