[senco-forum] assistant senco

I have always tried to work on these principles for the deputy senco role: 
The postholder should be responsible to you as line manager.
Their job description should mirror yours with a mixture of :
Opportunities to exercise and develop managerial and leadership skills,
developmental tasks- projects etc and more routine tasks. 
In the end of course, how you divide up the day to day tasks will be a
matter of negotiation between yourself and the other person. You should also
make it clear that job descriptions are not set in stone, and you will both
review the arrangements after a reasonable time and adjust if necessary.
