Leigh Academy Rainham is seeking an exceptional and dedicated Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) to join our team starting in Easter 2026.
At the heart of all we do is our philosophy of 'Invisible Inclusivity'.

As our next SENCO, you will be the driving force behind this vision!

2. Work in a modern, purpose-built learning environment
3. Join a team that values collaboration, wellbeing, and professional growth

Plus, enjoy great staff benefits, including:
5. Enhanced family-friendly policies
6. Employee Assistance Programme

8. Wellbeing support and staff recognition initiatives
