About the Role
Support mainstream schools to deliver outstanding inclusive practices and empower families across two ambitious boroughs. You will work within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council, spending much of your week visiting mainstream nurseries, schools, and colleges to evaluate and improve SEND provision. Your role involves observing children and young people in their educational environments, reviewing Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) delivery, and collaborating directly with SENCOs, teachers, and support staff.

You will engage with parents and carers to understand pupil progress, model evidence-based strategies, suggest reasonable adjustments, and provide expert guidance on adaptive teaching. You will produce clear, comprehensive reports at both individual and whole-setting levels to enhance educational provision and inform strategic decisions.

When not visiting schools, you will analyse provision, collaborate with local authority colleagues, and stay updated with the national education agenda to ensure compliance with the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015. Your duties include contributing to working parties, monitoring resource deployment, maintaining client confidentiality, utilising case management systems, and prioritising safeguarding by escalating concerns appropriately.

This role offers significant professional autonomy and the opportunity to make a systemic impact across multiple educational settings, stepping away from traditional classroom teaching to drive long-term system change and strengthen inclusion across two London boroughs.

At RBKC, we invest in our people, communities, and future. You will join a small, highly collaborative, and supportive team committed to advancing inclusive education. We prioritise continuous professional development, offering dedicated opportunities to expand your specialist SEND knowledge and leadership skills.

Kensington and Chelsea is a diverse borough focused on supporting residents and creating a fairer community. Your work will directly contribute to our 'we're all in' employer brand and the borough’s inclusive education agenda. This role is designed for someone passionate about driving systemic educational improvements and navigating complex challenges to help vulnerable learners thrive.

The role requires resilience and commitment to turn systemic barriers into opportunities for growth and collective resilience across local communities.
