Education and Skills - Building Bright Futures

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact as a SEND Lead Worker? Join our SEND and Inclusion service and help improve outcomes that bring positive changes to the lives of families and children/young people with SEND.


We take great pride in our passionate and enthusiastic approach, delivering high quality support tailored to the unique needs of every individual. Our focus is on preventive and early intervention, ensuring that our services are child, young person, and family-centred, always listening to and responding to their voices.


As a SEND Lead Worker, you will play a pivotal role in coordinating and facilitating the Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment and/or overseeing the review and monitoring process of Education, Health, and Care plans (EHCP). Opportunities exist in both the Preparation for Adulthood/Post 16 team and a community review team. Your responsibilities will encompass efficiently managing administrative functions within these statutory processes and meeting crucial statutory deadlines.


In this role, you will identify when specialist involvement is necessary and establish the appropriate contacts. Additionally, you will be based at a locality hub with the commitment to be in the office or on visits for 50% of your week.


We are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals who are highly organised and possess extensive experience of working in partnership with children, young people, and their families, particularly those with SEND. You must hold a minimum of a level 4 recognised qualification or be willing to work towards this, with a minimum of two years of experience in early years, social care, health, or education.
