Education Officer

Deadline: Sunday 21st June 2026. We will be reviewing applications as they come in, please apply early to avoid disappointment. Too many children and young people do not have access to an education that enables their full potential. With the markers for change set out by government in the recent White Paper and accompanying SEND reform consultation, the nasen membership tells us that change needs to come now. We are working hard to deliver on requests for nasen SEND services - that's advice and consultancy tailored to a school, a local authority or setting, along with both our online CPDL and in person delivery. We have never been busier.About nasen nasen (National Association for Special Educational Needs) - a charitable organisation that exists to support and champion those working with, and for, children and young people with SEND and learning differences. We seek to ensure that all education practitioners across early years, schools, post-16 and wider settings are equipped to understand, identify and support those with SEND and learning differences, and provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD), resources, advice, information and much more to enable all staff to meet the needs of all their learners. nasen brings organisations together, whether locally or nationally, to share practice, shape solutions. Our priorities are those that matter to the education and SEND sector, drawing on our direct engagement with practitioners, school leaders, SENCOs, local authorities and hearing from the lived experience of children and young people.

Do you have what it takes to join us and nasen's team of committed Education Officers? Are you an experienced teacher and leader of SEND and inclusion? Are you committed to improvement for schools, colleges and settings for the benefit of children and young people? nasen is looking to recruit an experienced teacher to work as part of the Education team. If you have senior leadership experience in an educational setting, an in depth understanding and appreciation of the SEND policy landscape, have extensive experience as a practitioner working with children and young people with SEND, as well as proven ability to write and deliver training to education professionals, then we would love to hear from you. You will bring first-hand experience of inclusive practice, be able to share strategies and solutions, and inspire confidence. We are looking for strategic and visionary leaders who can inspire and deliver our nasen consultancy, training and respected programmes. We are able to offer a flexible start date according to your availability.
