• Strong understanding of SEND and experience across EYFS, KS1 or KS2.
• Confident in leadership tasks and able to guide colleagues effectively.
• Flexible, adaptable and happy to alternate between SENCO duties and classroom cover.
• A real team-player with excellent communication skills and a positive, solution-focused mindset.
What’s on offer:
• Competitiv Salary (£34,398 - £52,490) + SEND Allowance.
