The Vacancy

Are you a passionate and experienced educator committed to transforming the lives of neurodiverse pupils? TCES National Online School is seeking a Deputy SENCo to help lead our specialist SEND provision across a dynamic virtual learning environment. Working closely with the SENCo, Clinical and Inclusion teams, and wider school leadership, you will support pupils with ASC, SEMH and complex needs—ensuring they are fully included, empowered, and able to achieve their full potential.

This is a unique opportunity to join a values-driven organisation that puts the needs of every child at the centre of all we do. You will play a key role in coordinating EHCP reviews, shaping personalised interventions, supporting staff development, and contributing to strategic planning—all within a flexible online setting. If you are innovative, reflective, and ready to lead in a pioneering online school where relationships, wellbeing, and inclusive practice are paramount, we’d love to hear from you.

The Company

TCES is an independent social enterprise, providing specialist therapeutic education based in London supporting exceptional neurodiverse children and young people aged 7 to 19 who have special educational needs and disabilities typically associated with autism, social emotional and mental health needs and associated disorders. Most of them will have experienced multiple placement breakdowns and significant trauma, often resulting in behaviour that challenges. On average pupils will have been excluded from other provisions up to three times before reaching us and had significant periods out of education.

TCES pupils learn at one of our two schools, at our Create Learning Primary, through our Create in the Community service or within our National Online School; our Create services support our most complex and vulnerable pupils, with highly differentiated and personalised holistic therapeutic education programmes developed for each pupil focusing on development milestones. When they are ready, we aim for pupils to step down from Create into one of our main school, our Sixth Form, or into mainstream provisions.
