Are you a passionate SENCo or experienced SEND practitioner looking for a role where you can truly make a difference?
This lovely, nurturing primary school in Horley is seeking a dedicated SENCo to join their team for a long‑term assignment covering staff absence — and they’d love to welcome someone who shares their child‑centred ethos and warm community feel.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a supportive, well‑led school where inclusion is at the heart of everything they do.

💛 Why You’ll Love This Role

• Work with a genuinely lovely SLT who value SEN and champion early intervention.
• Make a real impact supporting pupils with a wide range of needs.

• Work closely with teachers, parents and external agencies
• Develop personalised strategies and intervention plans
• Review and manage EHCP processes and SEND documentation

• Support staff with behaviour strategies, screening and early identification

You’ll have plenty of support from SLT, who are committed to ensuring you have the time and space to do the role properly.
