Job Description

SENCo – Greenwich | Long & Short-Term Opportunities

Are you a SENCo looking for pre-booked opportunities in Greenwich?

Whether you're an experienced SENCo or a qualified teacher looking to take on a SEN leadership role, Ribbons & Reeves have a range of opportunities across primary and secondary schools.

We work with schools requiring planned cover, meaning you'll be offered pre-arranged assignments rather than unpredictable day-to-day work. Opportunities range from short-term cover to long-term maternity, sickness and sabbatical positions, as well as temporary-to-permanent roles.

About the SENCo role:

  • Pre-booked short-term and long-term assignments
  • Opportunities across primary and secondary schools
  • Long-term maternity, sabbatical and sickness cover available
  • Temp-to-perm opportunities
  • Competitive weekly PAYE pay
  • Paid in line with AWR where applicable
  • No umbrella companies
  • Dedicated consultant support throughout your placement

What we're looking for:

  • UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is essential
  • SENCo experience and/or a relevant SEN leadership qualification
  • Strong understanding of the SEND Code of Practice
  • Excellent knowledge of SEN provision and EHCP processes
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Confident working with pupils, staff, parents and external professionals
  • Excellent leadership and problem-solving skills
  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one

We're looking for reliable and experienced education professionals who can quickly understand a school's SEN provision, support staff effectively and ensure pupils receive appropriate support. Strong communication, organisation and leadership skills are essential.

If you're a SENCo seeking flexible, pre-booked opportunities in Tower Hamlets, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today to discuss the schools and opportunities available for September and throughout the academic year.

Ribbons & Reeves are London’s leading Education Recruiters, specialising in long-term and permanent roles. For other opportunities, search ‘Ribbons & Reeves’. We look forward to supporting you in your application.
