About this Role

SENIOR LEADER: SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES CO-ORDINATOR REQUIRED FOR APRIL OR SEP 2026

FULL-TIME, PERMANENT

SCALE: L9 -12 (OUTER LONDON LEADERSHIP PAY SCALE)

Are you a visionary leader committed to breaking down barriers to learning? St Mark’s Catholic School is seeking a Senior Leader for SEND to join our Extended Leadership Team. This is a unique opportunity to shape the strategic future of SEND in an inclusive environment where every child is empowered to excel. As the senior leader for SEND, you will advocate for students with SEND needs, ensuring that the quality of provision leads to exceptional progress.

St. Mark’s was graded ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, and inspectors praised our ambition for all pupils, including SEND. Students are respectful, motivated to learn, and they achieve consistently high examination results.

The Senior Leader for SEND will attend SLT meetings and will work closely with the SLT in the following areas:

Strategic Direction: Contributing to the overall vision and school improvement plan, ensuring the inclusion policy is embedded in St Mark’s Mission Statement and core values.

Leadership and Management: Leading and managing a team of Learning Support Assistants, and providing professional guidance to all other teachers.

Accountability: Being accountable for the performance, progress, and outcomes of pupils with SEND to the Headteacher and governors.

The full Job Description is attached. There will be a small teaching commitment in the role, based on the successful applicant’s subject background. We would ideally like the successful candidate to start in April, but this is negotiable.

We are looking for a leader who:

Can translate SEND legislation into practical, classroom-based excellence.
Has the ability to work effectively and collaboratively with key stakeholders.
Is passionate about working with young people and committed to an inclusive approach to learning.
Has a proven track record of improving outcomes for vulnerable learners.
Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Why join St Mark’s?

Exceptional Environment: Graded ‘Outstanding’ in all areas (2022). Ofsted noted: “Leaders are determined that all pupils will be given the opportunities they need to succeed.”
A Culture of Respect: Our students are motivated, polite, and eager to learn. St Mark’s is friendly and welcoming with a strong Catholic ethos.
Professional Learning and wellbeing: We offer high-quality professional development and a genuine commitment to staff wellbeing.
