We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Early Years Inclusion Support Officer to work alongside the Area SENCO's to identify and deliver inclusion and early intervention strategies and activities in early years settings across the city.

Have had experience of supporting vulnerable children with a wide range of additional needs in an early years setting as a SENCO.
