Job description

Swindon is part of the national Special Educational Needs Disability & Alternative Provision Change Programme, working with the Department for Education and external delivery partners to test 19 reforms following the green paper consultation in 2021. This is an exciting opportunity to support the testing of proposed reforms that will bring about a positive change for all in the SEND sector.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone to join our busy and fast-paced team to support our work in procuring and monitoring services for children.

Our team is expanding and so it is an excellent time to join us to be part of the change.

Your next role

We recognise that most potential applicants may not have the specialist knowledge around SEND, therefore a desire to learn is essential, we will ensure that the successful applicants are provided with the relevant training to undertake the post to the required standard.

If you believe you have the skills, experience and enthusiasm to join, help shape this developing team, make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people and save the Council money through the effective, efficient and compliant procurement of services, then we want to hear from you.

Your responsibilities

• To ensure services from across the local area are co-produced with children and young people.
• To raise awareness of and promote the services on the Local Offer website that benefit the lives of children and young people with SEND and their families.
• To help to ensure that Services communicate with children and young people with SEND effectively.

We can offer you

• A supportive team and regular supervision with your line manager
• A chance to learn about the roles of many professionals supporting children and interact with them on a daily basis
• To feel part of a team that are making a daily difference to the lives of children
• A receptive and positive learning culture that wants your ideas and contributions to improving and developing service delivery
• Extended holiday allowance and auto-enrolment into our high performing local government pension scheme.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

Read the role profile and select the Apply button where you will be redirected to the Swindon Borough Council website to complete our online application process. Clicking the ‘Apply’ button on this job website is not an application, you must register on the Swindon Borough Council website in order to be considered for the role.

Potential applicants are sometimes put off if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We think individual experience, skills and passion make all the difference, so if you meet the majority of the criteria, we’d love to hear from you.
