SEN Leadership roles hold the highest level of importance within the SEN sector. These individuals must represent SEND pupils, ensuring they have everything they need in order to experience school life like any other student - safely, soundly, and successfully. Resultantly, these SEN roles require a thorough understanding of SEN in a school setting.
Head - As an SEN-Focused Head, it is your responsibility to make sure that all students with special needs get the support and help they need in school. Leadership qualities and management skills will need to be demonstrated on a daily basis as you will be tasked with leading and managing SEND provision in a timely and orderly manner. Empathy and experience are vital to this SEN role, as are leadership and good moral values.
Deputy Head - The SEN Deputy Head will be expected to support the SEN Head where possible and have had previous experience within the SEN sector. Working alongside an ambitious senior leadership team, you will need to help make decisions that will benefit the students positively.
Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) - SENCo professionals are responsible for the overall progress of students, whether that be through assessments, planning, or monitoring. This role will see you listen to parents and give feedback, then ensure the school SEND code of practice is followed by staff at all times.
