We exist to inform, support and represent our members, helping specialist schools improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND and secure the place of specialist provision within the wider education system.

A strong strategic thinker, able to absorb complex information quickly and translate it into clear, practical direction. A confident communicator with the gravitas to represent the organisation with members, staff, trustees, MPs, peers, media and national partners. A politically astute relationship-builder, comfortable navigating a complex and fast-moving external environment. Experienced in governance, with a sound understanding of working with boards or trustees and supporting effective decision-making. Numerate and commercially minded, with experience of budgets, financial planning, income generation or partnership development. Credible, approachable and resilient, with the emotional intelligence to lead well in a high-profile, remote and sometimes uncertain context. Direct SEND experience would be a significant advantage, alongside understanding of specialist education or similarly complex stakeholder environments. Why this organisation? This is a chance to lead a respected, member-led organisation with a strong national reputation and a clear public purpose. You will help shape the future of specialist education at a time when SEND reform is high on the agenda.
