What does effective SEND support look like when every pupil has individual needs, EHCPs to maintain and provision that requires careful coordination?

The SENDCO plays an important role in ensuring the smooth running of the SEND department, working closely with the Director of SEND Education, the role provides essential administrative and organisational support, particularly around EHCP reviews, documentation, statutory processes and communication with families, staff and external professionals.

I am currently working with a school in Greenwich that is looking for a dedicated and highly organised SENDCO to support its SEND department for the Spring and Summer terms. There could be scope for a longer-term position. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a good understanding of SEND and EHCP processes, strong administrative skills and a proactive, collaborative approach.

Key details include:

• 3 days a week (you must be able to work on Thursdays)
• January 2028 start - Spring and Summer Term position (potential to transition longer term)

What the Role Involves

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating SEND provision for pupils with EHCPs and those identified on the SEND register without an EHCP.
• Overseeing the implementation, monitoring, and review of EHCP provision, ensuring that pupils’ needs and specified support are appropriately addressed.
• Liaising with approximately four to six local authorities regarding EHCPs, annual reviews, consultations, placements, and provision.
• Working closely with the LA, supporting effective communication and coordination across the relevant primary and secondary services.
• Organising and contributing to EHCP annual reviews, gathering evidence, coordinating professional advice, and ensuring relevant documentation is completed accurately and within required timescales.
• Supporting the identification of additional needs and ensuring appropriate assessment, intervention, and support are in place for pupils on the SEND register.
• Working collaboratively with teachers, support staff, senior leaders, families, and external professionals to ensure a consistent approach to meeting pupils’ needs.
• Monitoring the effectiveness of SEND provision and identifying opportunities to improve outcomes, engagement, attendance, and access to learning.
• Maintaining accurate SEND records and ensuring relevant policies, procedures, and statutory responsibilities are followed.
• Supporting staff to understand individual learning profiles and implement appropriate strategies for pupils with autism and SEMH needs.
• Contributing to the development of inclusive, structured, and supportive learning environments that recognise the impact of communication differences, emotional regulation, and barriers to engagement.

Alongside these responsibilities, you will teach 11 periods per week at secondary level, delivering King's Trust prepared and resourced materials. This is a practical teaching commitment within the role, and there may be scope to negotiate a reduced timetable for a particularly strong candidate.

Who Should Apply?

We are looking for a knowledgeable, organised, and proactive SEND professional who can balance strategic responsibilities with the practical demands of working in a specialist school environment.

You may be an experienced SENDCO looking for a new challenge or a suitably qualified SEND professional ready to take the next step into a broader leadership role.

The ideal candidate will:

• Hold qualified teacher status (QTS) and the relevant SENDCO qualification.
• Have strong knowledge of SEND legislation, the SEND Code of Practice, EHCP processes, and annual review procedures.
• Have experience supporting pupils with autism, SEMH needs, and a range of additional learning needs.
• Be confident managing EHCPs and coordinating support for pupils both with and without an EHCP.
• Have experience liaising with local authorities, families, and external professionals to coordinate appropriate provision.
• Be highly organised and able to manage competing priorities across two school sites.
• Understand how autism, emotional regulation, anxiety, and other barriers can affect pupils’ engagement with education.
• Be confident supporting teaching staff to adapt their approaches and meet individual needs.
• Have strong communication, problem-solving, and record-keeping skills.
• Be comfortable combining SENDCO responsibilities with a secondary-level teaching commitment.
• Be committed to improving outcomes and ensuring that pupils receive the support they need to access education successfully.

Experience working across multiple sites or liaising with several local authorities would be particularly advantageous. Candidates with experience in specialist autism or SEMH settings are strongly encouraged to apply.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to take on a varied SENDCO role where you can make a tangible difference to pupils with autism and SEMH needs while helping shape provision across two specialist school sites.

You will have the opportunity to strengthen SEND systems, work closely with multiple local authorities, support staff in meeting pupils’ needs, and ensure that EHCP provision and wider SEND support are coordinated effectively.

For an experienced SENDCO who enjoys a combination of leadership, collaboration, and direct involvement in teaching and learning, this role offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a specialist educational provision in South East London.
