You will support our school-based leaders and SENCOs to enable all pupils to access learning, in order to achieve and succeed. You’ll help train and develop staff to understand different aspects of SEND, support the children’s needs and work collaboratively with parents and carers.

QE offers high quality, well-resourced and carefully structured provision, within an excellent broad and balanced curriculum and fantastic enrichment opportunities. Children achieve well, and learning behaviour is strong. We strive to meet the needs of all children – doing ‘Whatever It Takes’ to help children fulfil their potential.

You will be part of our dynamic, friendly central team (based at our Meteor Street site, SW NZ), but you will work with and support colleagues across all four of our schools so you must be happy to undertake some travelling across south London.
