As a Senior Education, Health and Care Plan Coordinator, you will lead a team of Coordinators and administrative staff.

Who are we looking for?

Our families and children come from diverse backgrounds, and it is vital our workforce reflects this diversity and understands their unique experiences.

We encourage applications from men and minority ethnic groups, as they are currently under-represented in our team. This does not exclude applications from other candidates.

You should be experienced, with substantial knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice, SEND Regulations, and the Equality Act. Line management experience and a strong commitment to children and young people with SEND are essential.

You must be highly literate, an excellent communicator, capable of prioritising in a busy environment, and able to collaborate with stakeholders including families, children, young people, schools, colleges, health, and social care.
