Job description
We are seeking an organised, forward-thinking, and highly proactive Deputy SENCo to take on a key leadership role within our dynamic AEN department at The BRIT School.
Working in close partnership with the SENCo, the successful candidate will play a lead role in departmental planning, event execution, staff line management, AEN admissions, and access arrangements.
