ABOUT ROLE

As a SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), you will play a crucial role in supporting the educational needs of children with special needs across our schools in Greater Manchester. This will be achieved through the effective leadership and management of teaching practices, the development and implementation of tailored interventions, and the provision of guidance and support to staff.
In addition to your coordination responsibilities, there will also be a teaching element to the role, allowing you to work directly with students and apply best practices in a classroom setting. This teaching component is particularly important due to the nature of working in a smaller setting, where maintaining a close connection to student progress and the practical application of support strategies is essential.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

• To ensure all pupils achieve their potential.
• To take responsibility for the leadership and management of teaching, providing a model of professional practice.
