Part-Time SENCO in Chelmsford, Essex

Part-Time SENCO - 3 Days a Week | January 2027 Start | Chelmsford

Are you an experienced and qualified SENCO looking for a new opportunity in January? Perhaps you're looking to return to a school leadership role but would love the flexibility of working part-time?

Academics are working in partnership with a wonderful, welcoming infant school in the Chelmsford area who are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated SENCO to join their team from January 2027.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a supportive school community, working alongside a committed Senior Leadership Team and passionate teaching staff who genuinely care about providing the very best education and support for every child.

The SENCO position:

• 3 days per week.
• January 2027 start.
• Initially for 2 terms, with the possibility of a permanent contract.
• Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, teaching staff, parents and external professionals.
• Leading and coordinating SEND provision, ensuring pupils receive the appropriate support to thrive.
• Supporting staff with inclusive teaching strategies, interventions and individual pupil needs.
• Overseeing EHCPs, provision mapping, reviews and the graduated approach.

What are we looking for?

• A qualified teacher with a recognised SENCO qualification (NASENCO).
• Previous experience working within a SENCO or SEND leadership position.
• Strong knowledge of SEND legislation, EHCPs and inclusive practice.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Someone passionate about improving outcomes for children with additional needs.
• A confident, approachable individual who can support and inspire colleagues.

🍎 An additional opportunity - Year 2 Teacher

The school is also recruiting for a Year 2 Teacher for 2 days per week, starting in January 2027.

For the right candidate, there is an exciting opportunity to combine both positions into one five-day working week:

• 3 days as SENCO
• 2 days as a Year 2 Class Teacher

This could be a particularly lovely opportunity for an experienced teacher who enjoys the strategic side of SEND leadership but also wants to maintain a presence in the classroom.

Whether you're looking for a part-time SENCO position or would love to combine both roles, I'd be delighted to hear from you!
