Job Description

About Us We're Nellie Supports - the UK's largest private social work practice. Our sister brand, Little Nellies, exists for one reason: to fight for children with SEND when the system lets them down.

The Role We're looking for an EHCP Caseworker to join our Little Nellies team.

Tell us why you want to work with Little Nellies and what makes you the right person to fight for kids with SEND.
