• Contribute to service improvement and mentor newly recruited or less experienced team members.
• Always model best practice in line with the Children and Families Act 2014 and SEND Code of Practice.

What we're looking for:

• Degree-level education and ideally a background in teaching, SENCO, or similar.
• Strong knowledge of the SEN landscape, including statutory responsibilities and family rights.
• Skilled in partnership working across schools, health, and social care.
• Confident communicator with a person-centred, inclusive approach.
• Ability to travel locally as needed.
