Due to internal promotion, InspireU has an exciting opportunity for an EHCP Assistant to join our team, supporting young people, families and professionals across Lincolnshire.

Due to recent changes in immigration law in the UK we are unable to offer skilled worker visa sponsorship for this role as it does not meet the requirements.

About the Role

At InspireU, we support young people aged 16–24 with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) to develop the skills, confidence and independence they need to achieve positive outcomes in education, employment and adulthood.

As an EHCP Assistant, you will play a key role in supporting the management and administration of Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) processes across the organisation. Working closely with the SENDCO, EHCP Co-ordinators and wider multi-disciplinary teams, you will help ensure that annual reviews and statutory processes are completed efficiently, accurately and within required timescales.

You will provide advice and information to young people, families, schools, professional agencies and Children's Services regarding InspireU's EHCP processes and provision. The role will involve attending a range of multi-agency meetings, producing detailed records of discussions and decisions, preparing review documentation and supporting the production of annual review reports.

This is a varied and rewarding role where attention to detail, strong communication skills and a commitment to improving outcomes for young people are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide information, advice and guidance to young people, families, professional agencies and Children's Services regarding InspireU services and EHCP processes.
• Attend annual reviews and other complex multi-agency meetings, taking detailed and accurate notes of discussions, actions and decisions.
• Produce and distribute meeting records and documentation within agreed timescales.
• Support the SENDCO and EHCP Co-ordinators with the preparation and writing of annual reviews and associated reports.
• Work collaboratively with learners, families, schools and external professionals to ensure views, wishes and aspirations are accurately captured and reflected within review documentation.
• Maintain accurate learner records, databases, spreadsheets and electronic systems in accordance with statutory guidance and organisational procedures.
• Organise, collate and prepare documentation required for annual reviews, meetings and SEND processes.

About You

We are looking for an individual who is:

• Passionate about improving outcomes for young people with SEND.
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Confident in communicating with a wide range of stakeholders including families and professionals.
• Able to build positive and professional relationships with young people and partner agencies.
• Skilled in producing clear, concise and accurate written records and reports.
• Able to manage competing priorities whilst meeting deadlines.
• Committed to safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion.

Previous experience of working within SEND, education, Children's Services or EHCP processes would be advantageous, although training and support will be provided for the right candidate.

• InspireU operates across seven sites in Lincolnshire; flexibility to support at different locations may be required.
• Occasional travel to meetings and partner organisations will be required.
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities will be provided.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential.
