Just imagine that your wonderful SENCO decides to move on, is taken ill or for whatever reason is absent for a significant period of time. Who do you have in your current team who could step into the role and keep everything moving? It is a complex and unique role in a school leadership team, and not an easy post to fill.
We sincerely hope that this thought doesn't keep you awake at night. But having raised this possibility, we are happy to be able to allay your concerns.
ASEND have experienced SENCOs ready and waiting to interim manage your vacancy. This could be to cover a period of illness, a maternity leave - or just to give you enough time to think through what you really need from the role - and to take your time to recruit accordingly.
Another solution might be to engage an ASEND advisor to work alongside a newly appointed SENCO in a mentoring or coaching capacity. Nurturing a potential SENCO is time consuming, but what satisfaction to be able to offer support and see someone's skills and knowledge grow.
