PK Education are working with a secondary school in Sheffield who are looking to appoint an experienced SENCO for a 1-year maternity cover position starting in September 2026.

This is a well-supported role within a school that places a strong emphasis on inclusion, pastoral care, and ensuring students with additional needs are fully supported both academically and emotionally.

The successful candidate will lead the SEND provision across the school, working closely with senior leadership, pastoral teams, teaching staff, external agencies, and parents to ensure students receive appropriate support and interventions.

The school has an established SEND department already in place, with experienced support staff and clear systems to help ensure a smooth transition into the role.

The Role

• Leading and managing SEND provision across the school
• Overseeing EHCPs, interventions, and support plans
• Supporting staff with strategies and inclusive practice
• Working alongside external agencies and parents
• Monitoring progress and ensuring statutory requirements are met
• Contributing to the wider pastoral and safeguarding structure within school

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• National SENCO Award (or willingness to work towards it)
• Previous SEND leadership or SENCO experience within a secondary setting
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Ability to lead teams and build positive relationships across school

The school has supportive leadership, strong behaviour systems, and a collaborative culture, making this an excellent opportunity for an experienced SEN professional seeking a stable leadership role for the academic year.
