£53,261 - £57,716
SENCO Full or Part-time Barnet Primary School Salary: £53,261 - £57,716 Full or Part time (4 days minimum) January start preferred We are delighted to be supporting a large North London primary school seeking an experienced SENCO to take on what can only be described as a big, important, meaningful role. This is a very high-needs school where 26% of pupils are on the SEN register. There is an ARP of six children currently awaiting specialist placements. There are 18 EHCPs, and more applications waiting to be made. This is not a ticking-boxes SENCO role. This is leadership. This is advocacy. This is impact. And crucially, you will not be doing it alone. You will have a full-time SENCO Assistant, a dedicated SENCO Administrator, a highly experienced Inclusion Lead providing a thorough handover, and an SLT who genuinely live their values. Nobody is expected to know everything. Everybody is supported. This school sits in a community facing real challenges, deprivation, instability, and barriers that begin outside the school gates. Yet inside the building you will find warmth, humour, consistency and a team who show up every single day because they believe in giving children the best start in life. This is a place that values strong relationships. Negativity is gently drowned out by positivity. Families who were once hard to reach now come through the gates. Structures are strong. Boundaries are clear. And the staff genuinely care for each other. You might already be an established SENCO looking for a role that matters. You might be a senior teacher with deep SEND systems knowledge ready to step up. Either way, you will be someone who can bring clarity to systems, confidence to staff and fairness to children who deserve the very best. If you feel ready to take on a SENCO role with meaning, one that asks much of you but gives back even more, we would love to speak with you. Please contact Emilie by emailing emilie@psinclusion.co.uk or calling 020 3011 4848.
