This is a full time position, however applications for a 0.8 FTE would be considered for the right candidate.
Are you an inspiring and dedicated leader with a passion for inclusion?
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)? We are looking for an exceptional and dynamic Assistant Headteacher to lead our Inclusion team and shape the future of our SEND provision.
At Chosen Hill School, we believe in fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is known, valued and given the opportunity to thrive. As Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion and SENDCO, you will play a key role in ensuring that our SEND students receive the best possible support, care, and education.
About the Role:
As the Assistant Headteacher:
Inclusion and SENDCO, you will be responsible for leading our school’s SEND strategy and working closely with staff, students, and families to ensure that all pupils with additional needs are fully supported. The SEND provision was recognised as a strength of the school in our recent Ofsted Report (December 2024). Your role will be both strategic and hands-on, guiding the development of our excellent SEND provision and driving forward initiatives to promote inclusion across the school. This role benefits from the expertise of a Deputy Inclusion Lead and administrative support.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage the SEND team, ensuring high-quality provision for students with a wide range of needs.
- Work closely with senior leadership to develop and implement an inclusive vision for the school.

- Collaborate with teachers to enhance inclusive teaching practices and support professional development.
- Build strong relationships with families, ensuring their voice is heard and their child’s needs are met.
- Promote a whole-school approach to inclusion, ensuring that all students, regardless of need, feel valued and supported.
- Lead support for Children in Care and Young Carers, working closely with the DSL as part of the safeguarding team.
- Monitor the progress of SEND students and report regularly on outcomes to leadership.
About You:
We are looking for a motivated, forward-thinking leader with a strong track record in SEND provision and a commitment to achieving excellence for all students. You will have experience in a SENDCO role or similar leadership position, with a deep understanding of SEND law, practice, and provision. A strong communicator, you will have the ability to inspire and lead others in ensuring inclusive education is at the heart of everything we do.
You will bring:
- A passion for inclusion and a belief in every child’s potential.
- Extensive knowledge and experience in SEND provision.
- Proven leadership and management skills, with the ability to lead a team effectively.
- A commitment to building a culture of high expectations and achievement for all students.
- The ability to build strong, positive relationships with staff, parents, and external agencies.
- A determination to drive continuous improvement in SEND and inclusion across the school.
- The experience and ability to teach a specialist subject to support your SENDCO role
Why Join Us?
At Chosen Hill, you will be joining a committed and enthusiastic team of staff and leaders who are passionate about making a difference. We offer a supportive environment where professional development is a priority, and you will have the opportunity to shape the future of our inclusive education.
As a member of our leadership team, you will receive:
- Ongoing professional development and opportunities for career progression.
